                                                         LIBRARY HEADING

 

 

 

 

HEARD:                    At Annapolis Royal, N.S. on October 31 and November 1, 2001.

 

DECISION:               April 9, 2002

 

SUBJECT:               Contract, Commercial Lease, Breach of Collateral Agreement, Damages.

 

ISSUES:                    Was there a breach of a collateral agreement?

What damages were proven?

 

SUMMARY:              Plaintiff had claimed for unpaid rent and electricity.  Defendants had denied liability for electricity because it was not separately metered as required by the lease.  Defendants had also counterclaimed for lost revenues as a result of plaintiff allowing a competing business to open in the Mall contrary to their collateral agreement.

 

RESULT:                  Found in favour of plaintiff on its claim and partly in favour of defendants on counterclaim.  Result just about a wash.
