Course Description

C.M. Callow Inc. v. Zollinger and the contractual duty of honest performance.

In December 2020 the Supreme Court of Canada overturned a unanimous decision of the Court of Appeal on the basis of the breach of the duty of honest performance in contractual relations. What otherwise appeared to be a straightforward 10 day notice of termination provision allowing Baycrest to terminate a snow removal service provider turned out to be anything but.
