The applicant brought a motion to enforce Minutes of Settlement reached in an application concerning the overburdening of a deeded right of way.
The self-represented respondent sought to resile from the agreement, alleging he was pressured and bullied into signing it.
The court found no evidence of duress, noting the agreement was negotiated over two months and the respondent signed it in person after being advised he was not obligated to do so.
The court exercised its common law jurisdiction to enforce the settlement and awarded costs to the applicant.
