Background: The case involved Robert Bollhorn as the plaintiff and Lakehouse Custom Homes Ltd. as the defendant. It took place in the Supreme Court of British Columbia, with the judgment delivered on March 2, 2023.

Legal Issues: The core legal issue centered around the specific performance of a contract of purchase and sale (CPS). The plaintiff, Robert Bollhorn, sought to enforce the contract terms against the defendant, Lakehouse Custom Homes Ltd. This included a discussion on the enforceability of the CPS, interpretation of its terms, and allegations of breach by both parties.

Held: The court ruled in favor of Bollhorn, granting specific performance of the CPS. The court also addressed several counterarguments from the defendant, including claims that the CPS was void and unenforceable, and issues surrounding the breach of contract by either party.

Costs/Damages Awarded: Despite discussions on awarding double costs due to the pre-trial settlement offer, the court awarded costs at Scale B to Bollhorn, acknowledging his substantial success in the case. The total amount of costs or the specific award was not quantified in the judgment summary provided.
