Bank of Nova Scotia v. Zackheim

Indexed As: Bank of Nova Scotia v. Zackheim

Ontario Court of Appeal

Zuber, Thorson and Robins, JJ.A.

January 13, 1984.

Summary:

A bank sued the defendant on his guarantee. His defence was that he was induced to sign the guarantee by the innocent misrepresentation of the bank. The bank moved for summary judgment. A Master dismissed the motion on the ground that the defendant raised a serious question of fact and law. The bank appealed.

The Ontario High Court, in a decision unreported in this series of reports, allowed the appeal and set aside the Master's order. The defendant appealed.

The Ontario Court of Appeal allowed the appeal and restored the order of the Master. The Court of Appeal held that the defendant raised an arguable defence and was entitled to a trial.
