The appellant appealed a trial judgment awarding damages to the respondent for wrongful termination of a commercial lease and the aborted sale of the respondent's business.
The Court of Appeal upheld the trial judge's findings on liability, agreeing that the appellant wrongfully terminated the lease and unreasonably withheld consent to assign it.
However, the Court varied the damages award, reducing it by $10,000 to account for legal fees the respondent had not actually paid.
The respondent's cross-appeal for punitive and aggravated damages was dismissed.
