The plaintiff sought to recover $25,000 from the defendant, representing a portion of over $153,000 he loaned her during their brief relationship.
The defendant had since made an assignment in bankruptcy and was discharged.
The plaintiff alleged the debt survived the bankruptcy discharge under s. 178(1)(e) of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, claiming the defendant obtained the funds through fraud.
The Small Claims Court dismissed the claim, finding no evidence that the defendant made any fraudulent misrepresentations at the time the loans were advanced.
