On June 4, 2021, the applicant filed a statement of claim alleging that he had loaned the respondents $75,000 in or about 2012 with a compounding interest rate of 10 per cent per month that they had failed to pay. The respondents defended the debt action on the grounds that no loan was made to them by the applicant, that there was no agreement regarding the compound interest and that the action was barred by the Limitations Act, R.S.A. 2000, c. L-12.

In a separate matter, the court imposed Interim Court Access Restrictions on the applicant which had the effect of staying his debt action against the respondents. The applicant sought leave to continue his debt action. The court dismissed the applicant’s leave application. This decision was upheld on appeal.
