Defendant
Facts: Jassie Gill seeks judgment for $618,997.91 plus interest and costs from Baljinder Gill, related to a 2012 Judgment. Payments were made towards this judgment, including $100,000 in 2017 and six $500 installments, with the last payment on March 1, 2021.
Issue: The main issue is whether the claim is barred by the statute of limitations, with the plaintiff arguing that the payments acknowledged the debt, extending the limitation period, while the defendant contends the action is time-barred.
Court's Ruling: The court decided the case was not suitable for summary trial due to substantial amounts involved and credibility issues central to the dispute. The court dismissed the summary trial application, stating a conventional trial is needed to resolve the conflicting evidence and determine if the claim is statute barred.
Costs/Damages: No specific costs or damages were awarded at this stage, as the court dismissed the summary trial application and indicated that costs would be in the cause, meaning they will be determined later in the proceedings.
