The appellants appealed a jury verdict awarding the respondents damages for malicious prosecution and awarding the appellant Wayne Scott $1 in damages for assault.
The dispute arose from altercations over a right of way between trailer park owners and cottagers.
The appellants argued the jury verdicts were unreasonable and challenged the trial judge's jury instructions.
The respondent Bettes cross-appealed the finding of assault against him and the dismissal of his malicious prosecution claim.
The Court of Appeal dismissed both the appeal and the cross-appeal, finding that there was evidence to support the jury's findings, the jury instructions were proper, and the nominal damages award was open to the jury.
