Facts: North Root Cannabis Ltd. and Steven Baskott (Appellants) entered into lease discussions with 663466 B.C. Ltd. and Gurmel Kainth (Respondents) for a cannabis retail store. Despite initial agreements and a Letter of Intent (LOI), disputes over rent payment and lease terms led to the Respondents repudiating the lease, asserting that the Appellants failed to meet the agreed conditions and deadlines.

Issues: The main issue was whether the lease agreement between the parties was valid and binding. The Appellants sought a summary trial to declare the lease valid, which was dismissed by the chambers judge, leading to an appeal.

Court's Ruling: The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, upholding the chambers judge's decision that the matter was unsuitable for summary trial due to unresolved conflicts in evidence and intertwined issues of credibility and lease validity. The Court concluded that the interests of justice were better served by continuing the trial in the lower court rather than pursuing the appeal.

Costs/Damages: The parties were ordered to bear their own costs due to divided success in the appeal. No amount was specified.
