The appellant appealed a Small Claims Court decision that dismissed her claim for breach of contract regarding a roof replacement and granted the respondents' cross-claim for defamation based on negative online reviews.
On appeal, the appellant argued she was denied procedural fairness, alleged a reasonable apprehension of bias, and raised several errors regarding contract interpretation and defamation defences.
The Divisional Court dismissed the appeal, finding no breach of procedural fairness, no evidence of bias, and no palpable and overriding errors in the deputy judge's findings of fact or application of the law.
