Re Rousseau, 2016 ONSC 962

The Administrator of a consumer proposal brought a motion to approve legal fees incurred for registering a restrictive covenant against the debtor's property as security for the proposal.

The Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy opposed the fees, arguing they were not prescribed by Rule 129 of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act.

The court dismissed the motion, holding that the fees prescribed in Rule 129 are exhaustive for Division II consumer proposals, and any administration requiring additional fees must be pursued as a Division I proposal.

Canadian Microtunnelling Ltd. v. The Corporation of the City of Toronto, 2004 ONCA 43771

The appellant appealed the dismissal of its action against the City of Toronto for breach of contract and other claims arising from a public tender process.

The trial judge dismissed the action primarily because it was barred by the six-year limitation period under the Limitation Act, finding the appellant knew or ought to have known the material facts by September 1990 but did not commence the action until February 1997.

The Court of Appeal agreed with the trial judge's limitation period analysis and found no palpable and overriding error in her alternative findings dismissing the substantive claims.

The appeal was dismissed with costs.

Applicant Counsel

George Robson Construction (Weston) Limited v. City of Hamilton, 2003 ONCA 30283

The City of Hamilton appealed a trial judgment regarding a sewer contract dispute.

The Court of Appeal found that the trial judge failed to address the principal issue of the effect of exclusion clauses on the contractor's bid, given the timing of a representation made by the City's project engineer.

The Court also found the trial judge erred in awarding solicitor/client costs without hearing submissions.

The appeal was allowed, the judgment was set aside, and a new trial was ordered.
