The Riverside Professional Centre Inc. v. The Ottawa Hospital, 2021 ONSC 1705

The Professional Centre brought a motion for summary judgment against The Ottawa Hospital concerning the interpretation of parking provisions in a 49-year lease and related Memorandum of Agreement.

The Professional Centre alleged breaches regarding the availability of 250 parking spaces, remittance of revenue from 40 parking spaces, and unauthorized use of encroaching parking spaces and an access road.

The Hospital denied any breach, asserting it exercised contractual discretion in good faith.

The court dismissed all of the Professional Centre's claims, finding no breach of the lease, that the Hospital had an implied easement over the access road, and that the Professional Centre failed to prove damages, including a high vacancy rate, were caused by the alleged parking issues.

Torres v. Ayari, 2019 ONSC 2061

The plaintiffs sought court approval for a settlement reached on behalf of minor plaintiffs and for a contingency fee retainer agreement.

The court denied approval of the retainer agreement due to non-compliance with the Solicitors Act and the Contingency Fee Agreements Regulation, citing issues with alternative fee calculation methods and formal deficiencies.

While the gross settlement for minors was deemed reasonable, final approval was withheld pending a compliant retainer agreement or fee-for-service proposal, and evidence regarding the management of minor plaintiffs' settlement funds.

Respondent Counsel

Blackwood v Doe, 2017 ONSC 4276

The plaintiffs brought a motion for court approval of a settlement under Rule 7.08 of the Rules of Civil Procedure, involving minor plaintiffs.

The proposed settlement of $250,000.00 included an allocation of $1,000.00 for each minor.

The court declined to approve the settlement due to concerns about a potential conflict of interest between the litigation guardian and the minor plaintiffs, the absence of proposed minutes of settlement, and the proposal to pay funds into RESPs instead of into court as required by Rule 7.09(1).

The court requested additional evidence to assess whether the settlement was in the best interests of the minor plaintiffs.
