The plaintiffs, Athanasia (Soula) Bougiotis and CleanMark Group Inc., sought interlocutory relief against the defendant, Jamil Manji, including the return and deletion of confidential information, an injunction restraining harassment, and an Anton Piller order.

The court found that Mr. Manji, a former employee, had engaged in a campaign of harassment and misuse of confidential information after his termination.

The court applied the RJR-MacDonald and Anton Piller tests, found a strong prima facie case, irreparable harm, and that the balance of convenience favoured the plaintiffs.

The court granted the requested relief and awarded substantial indemnity costs to the plaintiffs.

The plaintiff, Giang Long Nguyen, invested $100,000 in a trucking business venture with the defendants, Abdelraheem Adas and Krystalynn Kaur Manu (common-law spouses).

The defendants misrepresented their intentions, using the funds for personal expenses and a failed real estate investment.

A default judgment was initially obtained against both defendants, but later set aside for Mr. Adas.

At trial, the court found Mr. Adas liable for breach of fiduciary duty and civil fraud, concluding that he misused the funds and deliberately misled the plaintiff.

The court ordered Mr. Adas to repay the $100,000 jointly and severally with Ms. Manu, plus prejudgment interest.

The defendant NCO Financial Services, Inc. brought a motion for summary judgment to dismiss the plaintiff's action on the basis that the limitation period had expired.

The plaintiff claimed unlawful wage deductions from his employment in India between 2008 and 2009.

The court found that the plaintiff had actual knowledge of his claim by July 25, 2011, at the latest, when he sent a draft statement of claim to NCO.

The action was commenced in December 2015, more than two years after the claim was discovered.

The plaintiff's arguments regarding delayed discoverability and legal disability due to his psychological condition were rejected due to insufficient evidentiary support, particularly the absence of medical evidence.

The motion for summary judgment was granted, and the action against NCO was dismissed.
