The Court dismissed an appeal about renewal and term clauses in a Quebec affiliation contract between a banner company and member pharmacists.
The majority held the renewal clause granted unilateral renewal control to the member pharmacists and could lawfully produce potentially perpetual effects.
The Court found no palpable and overriding error in the trial judge’s interpretation and held the contract was not indeterminate on the majority’s analysis.
Dissenting judges would have characterized the contract as indeterminate and allowed termination on reasonable notice.
