The appellant appealed a Small Claims Court decision dismissing its claim for $35,000 in damages for breach of contract against the respondent for failing to publish advertisements.
The appellant argued the trial judge failed to provide sufficient reasons.
The Divisional Court dismissed the appeal, finding that in the context of the Small Claims Court's mandate and the trial record, the brief oral reasons were sufficient to explain that the appellant failed to prove its damages due to the impact of the COVID-19 lockdown on its revenue.
