Good Morning,
The following are our summaries of this week’s civil decisions of the Ontario Court of Appeal.
First, I’d like to congratulate our very own Eric Golden on successfully representing the moving party receiver in B&M Handelman Investments Limited v Drotos, 2018 ONCA 58. The case dealt with the limited circumstances under which an appeal can be brought, or leave to appeal could be sought, from a sale approval and vesting Order under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, with a focus on whether there was any duty on the Receiver to consult with fulcrum creditors on its marketing and sale processes relating to various types of real estate properties.
Other topics covered this week included the validity of a will of someone with chronic alcoholism, the Court of Appeal’s jurisdiction to hear an appeal from an order dismissing an application for habeas corpus in the immigration law context, zoning bylaw interpretation, easements, summary judgment in the commercial lease context, and family law (termination of support and contempt).
