Good afternoon.

Please find below our summaries of the civil decisions of the Court of Appeal for Ontario for the week of August 3 to 7, 2020.

Shergar Development Inc. v. Windsor (City) confirms the power of the then OMB to award costs against a party whose land is expropriated when that party fails to accept a reasonable settlement offer made by the expropriating authority and takes unreasonable positions.

In Walia v. 2155982 Ontario Inc., the Court upheld a motion judge’s determination that an interest clause in a mortgage was unenforceable pursuant to section 8 of the Interest Act because the interest rate increased subsequent to default under the mortgage.

Becker v. Walgate deals with the determination of a property line between waterfront properties.

Finally, in Grasshopper Solar Corporation v. Independent Electricity System Operator, a breach of contract case, the Court discusses the doctrines of estoppel by convention and promissory estoppel.
