The respondent, Royal Bank of Canada brought a motion for summary judgment for amounts owing to it from Mr. Hussain.

The motion judge found this was an appropriate case to grant a summary judgment and ordered Mr. Hussain to repay the amounts owing to the Bank. The motion judge also dismissed Mr. Hussain’s counterclaim. The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal finding no merit in Mr. Hussain’s arguments that the motion judge had erred and found no basis to interfere with the motion judge’s decision.
