The appellants sought a declaratory judgment regarding the expropriation of the Olympic Village and the resulting compensation and obligations.
The Supreme Court of Canada held that the Superior Court lacked jurisdiction to determine what the compensation should include, as this was the role of the arbitration committee.
The Court also affirmed that the organizing committee was released from its obligations to compensate the appellants for unpaid creditors, and the respondent was not bound to indemnify them.
