The appellants appealed a trial decision finding them jointly liable for a debt under a vehicle lease agreement.
The appellant argued her obligation was limited to a one-year guarantee based on a promise from her co-defendant, and that res judicata applied due to a prior default judgment against him.
The Divisional Court dismissed the appeal, finding no error by the trial judge.
The written agreement did not limit the obligation to one year, and section 139(1) of the Courts of Justice Act allows judgment against one jointly liable party without precluding judgment against another.
