The plaintiffs sued Mike Roth (operating as Enviromasters Lawn Care) and 2127668 Ontario Inc. for defective backyard renovations, including a retaining wall, wooden fence, and concrete patio.
A-D Engineering Group Ltd. was also a defendant, having prepared engineering drawings.
Roth and the numbered company did not appear at trial.
The court found Roth personally liable for breach of contract and negligence, as he failed to properly disclose he was contracting on behalf of a corporation and the work was shoddy.
Damages were assessed based on the cost to remedy the defects, adjusted for betterment.
The action against the numbered company was stayed due to bankruptcy, and all cross-claims were dismissed.
