  • Facts: The Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) filed for summary judgment to recover debts from Veronica Krscanski related to her Visa card and chequing account overdraft. The debts were detailed in account statements and underpinned by contracts. Krscanski contested the summary judgment, arguing primarily on procedural grounds and questioning the accuracy of interest calculations.

  • Issue: Whether the bank met the evidentiary requirements for a summary judgment, and whether the objections raised by Krscanski regarding the admissibility and accuracy of the affidavit evidence were valid.

  • Court's Ruling: The court granted summary judgment in favor of RBC, finding that the affidavit evidence was admissible and the interest calculations accurate. The court dismissed Krscanski’s objections, including those about affidavit admissibility and the accuracy of financial calculations.

  • Costs/Damages Awarded: RBC was awarded damages totaling $25,486.20, comprising $21,418.34 for the Visa amount and $4,067.86 for the overdraft. Costs were not awarded due to the amount claimed, but RBC was entitled to claim disbursements.
