The appellants appealed a Small Claims Court decision ordering them to repay a $22,080 loan to the respondent.
The loan originated from a Mutual Help Club organized by the respondent.
The appellants argued the trial judge erred by effectively amending the pleadings to treat the claim as a personal loan rather than a club debt.
The Divisional Court dismissed the appeal, finding the trial judge made no palpable and overriding error and properly concluded the respondent advanced the funds in her personal capacity.
