Good evening.

Following are this week’s summaries of the civil decisions of the Court of Appeal for Ontario.

Good evening,

Following are the summaries for this week’s civil decisions of the Court of Appeal for Ontario.

There were six substantive civil decisions released by the Court of Appeal this week. There were many criminal decisions released.

In Wall v. Shaw, the Court determined that there is no limitation period to objecting to accounts in an application to pass accounts in an estates matter. A notice of objection is not a “proceeding” within the meaning of the Limitations Act, 2002.

Following are the summaries for the civil decisions released by the Court of Appeal this week.

There were two wrongful dismissal cases this week. One was brought by a physician against Sick Kids Hospital. The Court found against the Hospital and allowed the appeal, remitting the matter back to the Superior Court for a determination of the damages. The second involved the breach of fiduciary duty of a senior officer of a public company who was found to have been self-dealing. The Court confirmed that the breach of fiduciary duty constituted just cause for termination.

上周,曾在新加坡证券交易所有限公司(“新交所”)上市的Otto Marine有限公司(以下简称“Otto Marine”)提出申请将公司提交司法托管(“司法托管申请”)并请求任命临时司法管理人。

该公司系总部为新加坡的Otto Marine集团的核心成员,Otto Marine集团拥有约70家子公司,联营公司和间接子公司,在全球拥有622名员工。 Otto Marine集团从事投资控股,船舶建造,维修和服务,船舶租赁和租赁以及离岸服务业务。 Otto Marine的独任董事暨实际股东是马来西亚大亨拿督斯里丘志肖。

司法托管申请发生于2015年约1.83亿美元的亏损以及2016年10月自新加坡证券交易所自愿退市之后。根据该公司截至2017年12月31日的管理账目初稿,本财政年度累计录得亏损约8100万美元。 在支持司法托管申请的法院文件中,该公司估计总负债约为8.77亿美元,并宣称自己无力偿还债务,并援引大华银行提交的清盘申请和各种未决执行申请等事宜。

根据法庭文件,拿督斯里丘志肖本人似乎是该公司最大的单一债权人,其本人或其附属公司享有2.08亿美元债权。

The company sits at the apex of the Singapore-headquartered Otto Marine Group, which has some 70 subsidiaries, associate companies and indirect subsidiaries, employing more than 622 employees worldwide. The Otto Marine Group is in the business of investment holding, construction, repair and servicing of vessels, chartering and leasing of vessels, and offshore services. The sole director and effective shareholder of Otto Marine is Malaysian tycoon Datuk Seri Yaw Chee Siew.

Congratulations to our very own Bill Anderson for succeeding on our client’s appeal in Holmes v. Hatch Ltd., 2017 ONCA 880.

In this Employment law decision, the Court of Appeal allowed the appeal from the motion judge’s decision granting summary judgment against our client on the basis that the motion judge was not at liberty to find liability on a legal theory that was not pleaded by the plaintiff and which our client did not have an opportunity to properly address in the evidence.
