The appellant appealed a Small Claims Court decision ordering it to pay $3,600.77 for unpaid electrical and excavation work.
The debts had been assigned to the respondent debt buyer.
The appellant argued the trial judge erred in finding a contract existed, accepting hearsay evidence, and awarding costs.
The Divisional Court dismissed the appeal, finding no palpable and overriding error in the trial judge's contractual interpretation and factual findings.
The court also refused to grant leave to raise new arguments about the validity of the assignments, noting it would cause substantial prejudice to the respondent.
