The Crown brought a motion for summary judgment to recover an advance payment made to the defendant under the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Advance Payments Program.
After the defendant defaulted, the Minister honoured the guarantee and became subrogated to the debt.
The defendant argued the administrator organization breached its duties by misapplying sale proceeds to other debts.
The Federal Court granted the motion, finding that the administrator's actions could not bind the Crown and there was no genuine issue for trial.
