Facts: Multiple actions arose from the collapse of a silo at Fibreco's marine terminal, leading to complex litigation including Fibreco's negligence and breach of contract claims against AG Growth International Inc. (AGI), and claims against Marsh, Fibreco's insurance broker, for alleged negligence and breach of broker agreement resulting in inadequate insurance coverage.
Issue: The disclosure of the financial terms of a settlement agreement between Fibreco and AGI, specifically whether AGI's third-party notice against Marsh requires disclosure of the settlement amount AGI paid to Fibreco.
Court's Ruling: The court ordered AGI to provide particulars of the settlement amount and produce an unredacted copy of the Settlement Agreement to Marsh. This was decided under the notion that a party claiming indemnification for a settlement amount necessitated by a third party's fault must disclose the settlement amount.
Costs/Damages Awarded: No specific amount of costs or damages outside the requirement for AGI to disclose settlement details was mentioned in the provided summary.
