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.

Civil procedure – Settlement agreements – Enforceability – Respondent suing applicant for return of $25,000 previously paid to him pursuant to terms of confidential settlement agreement – Applicant filing statement of defence – Statement of defence struck and judgment granted in favour of respondent after applicant failed to attend at discovery – Whether motions judge misdirected himself in enforcing an unenforceable agreement – Whether motions judge misdirected himself in concluding that agreement had been breached.

The respondent sued the applicant for the return of $25,000 previously paid to him pursuant to the terms of a confidential settlement agreement. The applicant filed a statement of defence. After several unsuccessful attempts to examine the applicant for discovery, the respondent moved for and obtained a court order to compel the applicant's attendance at discovery. Again, the applicant failed to attend. Eventually, the statement of defence was struck and the applicant was noted in default. The respondent moved to have final judgment entered. The applicant did not attend that hearing. The motions judge granted final judgment. The Court of Appeal dismissed the applicant’s appeal
