Summary

Commercial law – Financial institution – Banks – Conflict of interests – Duty to disclose – Obligation to act in good faith – Whether Financial institutions have the obligation to divulge conflicts of interest arising from their business with other corporate entities – What are the duties of banks towards their customers?
The applicants, Castor D’or Maritime Ltée and Beaver Express Container Line Limited are suing the respondent, the Royal Bank of Canada, for not having disclosed an alleged conflict of interest due to their involvement with a competitor and for having made false representations with respect to the availability of a line of credit. The refusal of the line of credit by the Royal Bank of Canada led, at the time, to the end of the applicant’s operation.
