Plaintiff
Defendant
Facts: Calvin Lindley, the plaintiff, holds a certificate of possession for land located at 1643 Old Ferry Wharf Road, West Kelowna, BC. He previously had a common-law relationship with defendant Jenny-Lynn Manchester, with whom he shares two children. The dispute involves the defendants' occupancy of the land despite court orders to vacate.
Issue: The main issue is the defendants' non-compliance with previous court orders to vacate the land, leading to a request for a writ of possession, enforcement actions, and penalties for contempt of court.
Court's Ruling: The court ordered immediate vacant possession of the land, enforcement of previous orders, and provided a stay on enforcement to allow defendants time to vacate. The court planned to consider further sanctions for contempt if non-compliance continued.
Costs/Damages Awarded: The court declared costs of the proceeding against the defendants. The specific amount of special costs and other potential sanctions (such as incarceration for contempt) would be considered at a future date if the defendants failed to comply by the set deadline.
