Greg Allen, Kaitlyn Meyer and Victoria Baylis win 7-day trial

Greg, Kaitlyn and Victoria acted for the defendants who had entered a series of financial transactions with the plaintiffs over the course of several years, primarily to fund the plaintiffs’ real estate development projects. The plaintiffs filed two actions alleging, among other claims, that they had overpaid the defendants. There was very little documentation recording the parties’ transactions. Moreover, many of the allegations raised by the plaintiffs were addressed in prior related proceedings.

The two actions were heard together at trial. The court found in favour of the defendants and dismissed the entirety of the plaintiffs’ claims, including finding that they were statute barred and amounted to an abuse of process.
