  • Facts: Harper KL Development Corp. and 1131182 B.C. Ltd. were involved in a joint venture to develop a property. After facing difficulties, the property was ordered to be sold. The sale completed, but the legal fees for the conveyance were not specified in the sale proceeds distribution orders.
  • Issue: The main issue was whether the legal fees incurred by the seller's counsel for the property conveyance should be paid from the sale proceeds, as this was not explicitly covered in the previous court orders.
  • Court’s Ruling: The court corrected the order under the "Slip Rule" to include payment of the seller’s conveyancing legal fees from the sale proceeds. It was determined that this was a necessary aspect of the sale process that should have been but was not previously adjudicated.
  • Costs/Damages Awarded: The court decided that the parties should bear their own costs for this application, meaning no specific costs or damages were awarded to either party as a result of this ruling.
