Contracts – Breach – Appeal – Leave to Appeal – Whether applicant raises a legal issue – Whether issue is of public importance.

The applicants claimed under a homeowner’s insurance policy. They claimed that water damage to their basement, basement bathroom, and garage roof was caused by a rain storm and defective plumbing. Four reports were commissioned with respect to the nature of the damages and its causes. Intact Insurance Company refused to pay the claim, citing exclusion clauses in the insurance policy. Mr. Hojjatian and Ms. Kermani commenced a claim for damages and punitive damages. They applied for summary judgment. They also were involved in litigation with Toronto-Dominion Bank in relation to enforcement of a writ of possession against the home and against Loblaws Inc. in relation to a business dispute.
