The appellant appealed a Small Claims Court decision ordering him to pay $22,853.53 for building materials.
He argued the Deputy Judge failed to provide sufficient reasons regarding his complaint that the materials supplied were of the wrong type, nature, or colour.
The Divisional Court dismissed the appeal, finding the oral reasons were sufficient given the informal context of the Small Claims Court, as the Deputy Judge clearly rejected the appellant's credibility and noted he had installed and continued to use the materials.
