S. Rogers

The plaintiff construction company brought an action for unpaid invoices relating to the construction of cottages under cost-plus contracts.

The defendant developer argued that the costs exceeded the budgets and were not properly approved or invoiced.

The court found that the defendant was aware of and approved the extra work, which was necessitated by site conditions, and that the plaintiff had properly invoiced the amounts.

The court awarded the plaintiff the full amount claimed, plus contractual interest.

The plaintiffs brought a medical malpractice action against the deceased's family physician following the deceased's sudden cardiac death.

The plaintiffs alleged the physician breached the standard of care by failing to elicit symptoms of coronary artery disease during a periodic health examination and by failing to send a referral for a stress test.

The court found the physician met the standard of care during the examination.

While the physician admitted breaching the standard of care by failing to send the referral later, the court concluded this breach did not cause the death, as the deceased would not have received treatment before his death due to specialist wait times, and the fatal arrhythmia was likely caused by pre-existing scarring rather than an acute ischemic event.

The action was dismissed.
