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.
Contracts - Nullity - Sale - Conditions - Company law - Association's constitution providing for internal formalities required for alienation of association's property - Formalities sidestepped in context of dispute surrounding planned sale - Whether failure to comply with its internal procedure can relieve company of contractual liability - Whether indoor management rule must be excluded only in case of blatant bad faith and not because of carelessness and negligence.
The Respondent association's property was sold to the Applicant Grenier in 2002 in violation of the prior approval formalities provided for in the association's constitution. Two of the association's representatives (the other two Applicants) signed the deed. The evidence showed that the deed's various signatories were aware of the internal dispute that upset the association with regard to the sale and its approval.
