Good afternoon.

Following are the summaries of this week’s civil decisions of the Court of Appeal for Ontario.

Off the top, I would like to congratulate our very own Roger Horst and Rafal Szymanski on successfully representing the respondent in Correct Building Corporation v. Lehman. The Court dismissed the appeal against our client and granted our client’s cross-appeal, resulting in a dismissal of all claims against our client by way of summary judgment.

Other topics covered this week included whether a landlord’s insurer can bring a subrogated claim against a tenant of a commercial property for negligence causing fire, a fee dispute between lawyer and client, uninsured motorist coverage, agreements of purchase and sale of land and setting aside consent orders. The Court also denied leave to appeal the provincial offences convictions arising out of the Sunrise Propane incident in North York that took place almost ten years ago now.Continue Reading ONTARIO COURT OF APPEAL SUMMARIES (MAY 13- MAY 18)
