What is a contract dispute?

Most contractual disputes arise over the interpretation of the agreement.  The first place to start is to determine if there is a valid contract.  The wording of the agreement will often indicate whether there has been a breach or not. Often, the breach will be clear and obvious.

Oftentimes, there is the possibility of civil contract dispute cases being settled without the need to attend court.  At Scardicchio Law Office Professional Corporation, depending on your particular legal needs, there are times where more affordable options are available for a resolution to your matter.  For example, our Civil Litigation Lawyers offer an initial retainer to make amicable attempts to resolve your case:

  • A Demand Letter drafted and served on the individual or business who owes you money (the debtor);
  • Corresponding with the debtor to come to an agreed arrangement.
  • Drafting, serving and filing the documents in court where discussions to resolve are not met with a response;
  • Pursuing a judgment in order to settle your case.

What are the remedies for a breach of contract?

The standard remedy for breach of contract is a monetary award for damages, where the innocent party is put in the position they would have been in, had the contract been performed as agreed.  Depending on the facts of each specific case, some of the compensatory damages include lost profits, interest, and or additional expenses required to fulfill the contract.  Loss of enjoyment can also be sought, among other damages.  Punitive damages can also be awarded also depending on the circumstances and if the conduct of the party who breached is so serious as to warrant them.

What is a Mareva Injunction

A Mareva injunction is an extreme remedy granted in exceptional circumstances to freeze a defendant’s assets before judgment.  The Plaintiff must do each of the following:
1) make full and frank disclosure of all material matters;
2) give full particulars of the claim against the defendant and highlight potential defenses;
3) show that the defendant has assets in the jurisdiction;
4) show that there is a real risk of the assets being removed out of the jurisdiction, or disposed of before trial and that the plaintiff will be unable to satisfy a potential judgment; and
5) give an undertaking as to damages.

What is an Anton Piller Order?

The jurisdiction to issue a private search warrant rests with the Ontario Superior Court.  An Anton Piller order essentially authorizes a private party to insist on entrance to the premises of the party it believes has defrauded them in order to seize and preserve evidence which will assist in furthering its claim.
In order to apply for an Anton Piller Order, a Plaintiff must show 4 elements: 1) a strong prima facie case; 2) damage to the plaintiff of the defendant’s alleged misconduct, potential or actual, and must be very serious; 3) convincing evidence that defendant possesses incriminating documents or things; and 4) a real prospect that the defendant may destroy the material before discovery. 

What is a Norwich Order?

A Norwich order compels a third party to provide the applicant with information where the applicant believes they have been wronged and needs the third party’s assistance in order to determine the circumstances of the wrongdoing which will assist the applicant to pursue its legal remedies. This type of order is also known as a tracing order.
