(1503 14455; 2015 ABQB 703)

Indexed As: Crossroads-DMD Mortgage Investment Corp. v. Gauthier

Alberta Court of Queen's Bench

Judicial District of Edmonton

Schulz, Master

November 6, 2015.

Summary:

The plaintiff second mortgagee ("Crossroads") alleged that the defendant mortgagor ("Gauthier") was in default of the second mortgage. Crossroads sued Gauthier and applied for a one day redemption order.

A Master of the Alberta Court of Queen's Bench granted a 30 day redemption order, following which Crossroads could list the property for sale for 60 days at $372,000 or such higher sum as the listing realtor might recommend. Costs were awarded on a solicitor-client indemnity basis. Crossroads could submit the order directly to the court for signature without first obtaining Gauthier's approval as to its form.
