Claims:

  • $1,200,000 for breach of contract and undervalued property sales
  • $3,800,000 for pain and suffering
  • $50,000 for discarded belongings

Key Facts

  • Involves a power of sale under a mortgage where Plaintiffs were mortgagors and Moneybroker.ca was the mortgagee.
  • Terry Walman was the mortgagee’s lawyer.
  • The Statement of Claim was criticized for being unclear and lacking essential details.

Allegations Against Terry Walman

  • Represented the mortgagee and allegedly advised the Plaintiffs during the mortgage signing.
  • Accused of manipulating the Plaintiffs and sabotaging refinancing efforts.
  • Alleged to have sold the Plaintiffs’ properties at discounted prices to friends without proper accounting.
  • Plaintiffs claimed Walman intimidated an appraiser and exhibited cruelty during foreclosure.
  • Accused of violating human rights and unethical conduct.

Legal Findings

  • Motion to Strike:
    • Filed by Walman to dismiss the action against him, arguing the Statement of Claim disclosed no reasonable cause of action.
    • The court agreed, noting Walman owed no duty of care to the Plaintiffs as he represented Moneybroker.ca.
    • The claim lacked material facts and contained unsupported, conclusory statements.
  • Charter Rights:
    • Allegations of Charter rights violations were dismissed, as the Charter does not apply to private disputes involving non-governmental parties.

  • Dismissal: The action against Walman was dismissed.
  • Costs: Plaintiffs were ordered to pay $10,000 in costs to Walman.
