Background: The case involved a dispute within the Sall family over the ownership of a property at 8381-147th Street, Surrey, BC. The property was acquired in 2001 by Lehmber Singh Sall and Mohinder Kaur Sall, holding a 50% interest. Disputes arose among family members, including Ajminder Singh Sall, Parminder Singh Sall, Premjeet Kaur Sall, and Sharon Gill, due to changes in ownership and a debt related to an automotive business.

Legal Arguments/Issues: The Applicants (Lehmber, Parminder, and Premjeet) sought to enforce a February 2023 settlement agreement that the Respondents (Ajminder, Mohinder, and Sharon) refused to formalize. Key issues included:

  • Breach of Trust: Alleged mismanagement and improper transfer of property interests.
  • Enforcement of Settlement: Whether the trial agreement was enforceable despite the Respondents' refusal to sign.

Held: The court ruled the settlement agreement enforceable, finding the essential terms agreed upon in February 2023 were present in the final document. The court confirmed the Respondents had been properly served and chose not to appear. The agreement included a $225,000 payment to Ajminder Singh Sall for transferring his 50% interest to Parminder and Premjeet.

Costs/Damages Awarded: The court awarded the Applicants $1,600 in lump sum costs, including disbursements and taxes, to be paid from the settlement proceeds. The original $7,500 sought was deemed excessive. The court dismissed the action (S193194) and petition (S186508), ordering the Respondents to comply with the settlement terms.
