Civil liability Mandate - Allegation of negligence against stockbroker for failure to buy shares at time directed by client - Allegation of bias or appearance of bias on trial judge’s part Whether Court of Appeal erred in refusing to remedy situation liable to bring administration of justice into disrepute.

Boris Osadchuk, a farmer from Saint Pie de Bagot, follows and plays the stock market. His adviser and broker at the time in question was the respondent Rémillard. At that time, he was making many transactions and was on friendly terms with his broker. While they were having lunch together on Thursday, August 4, 2005, Mr. Osadchuk expressed an interest in Baidu, a company specializing in Internet search engines in China that was preparing to make a public offering the next day. On that day, August 5, at 9:30 a.m., the broker spoke to his customer by telephone. Seeing that, according to the on-screen stock ticker, the coveted stock was not being traded, he left to play golf as he had planned to do. Around 1:30 p.m., the customer saw on television that Baidu stock had been trading for two hours and was already rising fast. The following week, he complained about the lost profit opportunity. After sending a notice of default, he received a notice of termination of mandate from the respondent FBN. He then claimed $285,476 in damages.
