The defendant, the Attorney General of Canada, moved for summary judgment to dismiss the plaintiff's $2,000,000 action for breach of contract, quantum meruit, and unjust enrichment.
The plaintiff, a contractor, sought additional payment for delays and increased costs incurred during a window replacement project at a maximum-security penitentiary.
The court granted the motion and dismissed the action, finding that the plaintiff failed to comply with the mandatory dispute resolution and notice provisions under the general contract after the government rejected its claim.
