Heard: February 11, 2003
On appeal from a judgment of Justice Paul U. Rivard of the Superior Court of Justice dated June 5, 2002.
A D D E N D U M
1This court rendered its decision in this matter on September 24, 2003. Subsequent to its release, the parties disagreed on the settlement of the formal order of the court and, consequently, moved for directions.
2Both parties agree that the formal order should declare that the lease, which is the subject-matter of the litigation, is terminated. They disagree, however, on whether the order should specify the date of termination.
3We are of the view that the date of termination could, and probably should, have formed part of the court’s reasons and that the omission can now be rectified by motion under rule 59.06. We are further of the view, given the intervening retirement of Justice Morden that the matter can be determined under s. 123 (3) of the Courts of Justice Act by the remaining justices who heard the appeal.
4We hold that the lease was effectively terminated on November 19, 2001. We agree with the landlord’s submission that this determination does not in any way inhibit the discretion of the judge hearing the trial of the issue on the question of relief from forfeiture.
5We make no order as to costs on this motion.
Released: MAY 13 2004 Signed: “Karen M. Weiler J.A.”
