The appellant supplied food products to a supermarket and billed a real estate company with a similar name to the supermarket's former operator.
The supermarket was actually operated by a different, related company that eventually went into receivership.
The appellant sued the real estate company for unpaid invoices, arguing it was the purchaser or was estopped from denying liability because it had paid previous invoices without objection.
The Supreme Court of Canada dismissed the appeal, upholding the Court of Appeal's finding that there was no contract between the appellant and the real estate company, and that the elements of estoppel were not established.
