Riccardo Di Giuseppe v. Evanov et al., 2019 ONSC 910

The defendants brought a motion for summary judgment to dismiss the plaintiff's oppression action on the basis that the plaintiff lacked standing as a shareholder, officer, or director.

The plaintiff failed to file responding evidence and instead brought a motion to amend the claim, which the defendants opposed as statute-barred.

The court granted summary judgment dismissing the action and dismissed the motion to amend.

The court further ordered the plaintiff's lawyer to personally pay $20,000 in substantial indemnity costs under Rule 57.07(1), finding that the lawyer caused costs to be incurred unnecessarily by taking untenable positions, failing to attend court, and breaching peremptory deadlines.

Hayat v. Raja, 2016 ONSC 6805

The plaintiff, Arif Hayat, brought an action against the defendants, Mushtaq Raja and his corporations, for fraudulent misrepresentation and oppression under the Business Corporations Act.

Hayat advanced over $555,000 to Raja for investments in a trucking company and a restaurant venture.

Raja used corporate funds for personal expenses, falsely represented his own financial contributions, and fraudulently induced Hayat to resign as a director and surrender his shares in the restaurant corporation.

The court found Raja liable for fraudulent misrepresentation and oppressive conduct.

The court ordered Raja, Minaj Transport Inc., and Maryat Investments Inc. to pay Hayat $475,000, and ordered Direct Ex Logistics Inc. and Raja to repay a $36,179 loan and issue shares to Hayat.

The defendants' counterclaims were dismissed.

Mountain v. TD Canada Trust Company et al., 2015 ONSC 7318

The court addressed disputes regarding the interpretation and implementation of Minutes of Settlement in estate litigation between family members and an estate trustee during litigation.

Following earlier endorsements clarifying settlement terms, the judge directed the parties to submit competing draft orders reflecting the intended disposition.

The principal issues concerned the timing of a payment obligation tied to a $500,000 amount from an estate interest and whether provisions addressing the estate trustee’s role should appear in the final order.

Applying a “final offer selection” approach, the court concluded that the draft orders proposed by the estate trustee most accurately reflected the settlement and prior endorsements.

The court therefore signed and entered those orders.
