Background: George Pappas sued Francis John Vacek over a dispute concerning the sale and possession of a vintage 1963 Pontiac Parisienne.
Facts: Pappas alleges he purchased the car for $30,000, with a $100 deposit, at an Illinois auto show. The agreement was to transfer the car to Saskatchewan, but Vacek reneged on the sale and advertised the car again.
Issues: The main issue was the interim preservation of the car to prevent its sale or alteration pending the litigation outcome.
Ruling: The court granted Pappas an interim preservation order, preventing Vacek from disposing of or altering the car until at least March 22, 2024. Pappas was also ordered to pay $29,900 into court by March 7, 2024.
Amount Awarded: No costs were awarded for the motion attendance.
