Defendant
Facts: Century 21 Canada Limited Partnership (C21) hired Real Estate Webmasters Inc. (REW) to develop an online platform. C21 claims the platform was dysfunctional, causing them to file a lawsuit for breach of contract and negligence, seeking around $12 million. REW contends the platform was functional, countersuing for at least $19 million, citing C21's failure to make payments and other issues.
Issue: The main issue is whether REW complied with court orders for document production related to the development of the platform, amidst allegations of breach of contract and negligence.
Court's Ruling: The court did not strike REW’s pleadings but found that REW did not comply with a previous order regarding document production. It ordered specific disclosures from REW but rejected the request for broad access to REW’s systems and did not mandate further affidavits verifying REW's document list. The court allowed further examination of REW's CEO for six hours.
Costs/Damages: No specific costs or damages were awarded in this decision. The ruling primarily addressed compliance with document production orders, not the final resolution of the breach of contract and negligence claims or the assessment of any damages or costs related to those claims.
