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.

Commercial law – Loans – Guarantor – Reasonable notice – Whether the learned judges below erred in law by conflating “notice” and “demand” in the context of a demand loan – Whether the learned judges below made palpable and overriding errors of fact by finding that “notice” had been provided by the Toronto-Dominion Bank at any time prior to November 7, 2014.

The Respondent, Toronto-Dominion Bank extended credit to Vertamin Inc. including a line of credit with an authorized limit of $800,000, a corporate VISA card and a separate fixed term loan on the maximum amount of $288,000. All of the obligations owed to TD Bank by Vertamin were guaranteed by the Applicant, Mr. Konga, under an unlimited and continuing guarantee. The TD Bank claims that Vertamin breached the terms of the loan agreements and, on November 13, 2014, it simultaneously demanded repayment of the loans both from Vertamin and from Mr. Konga in his capacity as guarantor. The TD Bank sought summary judgment against Mr. Konga in the amount of $1,098,646.22, plus interest and costs. Summary judgment was granted in TD Bank’s favour. Mr. Konga’s subsequent appeal was dismissed.
