In Aylmer Meat Packers Inc. v. Ontario, the appellant meat producer, Aylmer, sued the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs ("OMAF") in negligence after it had shut down and occupied its abattoir for 19-months, effectively putting it out of business. The trial judge dismissed the action, but the Court allowed the appeal. Shutting the plant down for that long was a breach of the duty of care owed by the regulator to the appellant.
Other topics covered this week included posting security for a judgment into court pending appeal to permit the sale of land to be completed, family law (relocation), and extension of time to perfect an appeal in the bankruptcy and insolvency context.
