Summary
Case summaries are prepared by the Office of the Registrar of the Supreme Court of Canada (Law Branch). Please note that summaries are not provided to the Judges of the Court. They are placed on the Court file and website for information purposes only.
On April 7, 1994, the Respondent Modestos Glykis purchased a rental building in Montreal. Several apartments were at that time vacant, yet supplied with electricity. In January 1995, the Appellant Hydro-Québec demanded the Respondent as owner of the building to pay $1,626.29 in unpaid electricity bills. The Respondent Modestos Glykis refused to pay these bills, despite having received several notices informing him that failure to pay the bills might result in the supply of electricity being interrupted to every building covered by a services contract between him and Hydro-Québec.
The Appellant sent a notice of interruption of services to the Respondent and, on November 8, 1995, interrupted services to the Respondents' private residence, even if there were no arrears with respect to the contract relating to this property. The next day, cold weather forced the Respondents to seek hotel accommodation. Some days later, Mr. Glynis got a pneumonia and Mrs. Glynis a cold. On November 10,1995, having received payment for the unpaid bills, the Appellant resumed the supply of electricity to the Glykis residence. The Respondents sued the Appellant, Mr. Glykis claiming $ 89,241.31$ in damages and Mrs. Glykis $30, 012.99.
On July 26, 1999, the Superior Court dismissed the Respondents' claims. The Respondents appealed, having lowered their claims to $20,382.15 and $10,012.99, respectively. On December 12, 2002, the Court of Appeal allowed their appeals and ordered the Appellant to pay $4,882.15 to Mr. Gkykis and $2,000.00 to Mrs. Glykis, interests and the additional indemnity calculated from the date of institution of the proceedings being added to both amounts.
