Summary:
The owners of a mall (Brad-Jay) alleged that Greenglass misappropriated cash from the revenues of a flea market operated on Sundays at the mall from 1981 to 1999. One owner sued Greenglass and others for damages for loss of revenues from 1987 to 1999. Against Greenglass, it alleged misappropriation, breach of fiduciary duty and negligence. Greenglass cross-claimed, alleging wrongful dismissal.
The Ontario Superior Court, in a decision reported at [2005] O.T.C. 885, dismissed the claims and Greenglass' cross-claim for wrongful dismissal. The owners appealed. Greenglass sought leave to appeal the trial judge's disposition of costs.
The Ontario Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal and denied leave to cross-appeal.
Torts - Topic 77
Negligence - Duty of care - Relationship required to raise duty of care - The owners of a mall ("Brad-Jay" and "Village" (also the mall's manager)) alleged that Greenglass, who was employed as Village's manager, misappropriated cash from the revenues of a flea market operated on Sundays at the mall from 1981 to 1999 - Brad-Jay sued Greenglass for damages alleging, inter alia, negligence - The trial judge dismissed the claim on the basis that neither Village nor Greenglass had responsibility for the management of the flea market - Thus, Greenglass did not have a duty of care with respect to the operation of the flea market upon which to found a claim for negligence - The Ontario Court of Appeal dismissed an appeal - There was no basis for interfering with the trial judge's conclusion that Greenglass did not owe a duty of care to the Brad-Jay or Village in the management of the flea market - See paragraphs 9 to 13.
