The appellant appealed a Small Claims Court decision regarding a contract for the purchase of a bicycle and related services.
The trial judge had ordered specific performance and rescission as remedies.
On appeal, the Divisional Court held that the Small Claims Court lacks jurisdiction to grant equitable relief, such as specific performance or rescission, unless it is in the form of a money judgment or the return of personal property within its monetary limit.
The appeal was allowed in part, setting aside the equitable remedies and substituting a money judgment of $16.97 for discounted accessories.
