Third-Party Claims: Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP filed third-party claims for contribution and indemnity against Mintz & Partners, Deloitte & Touche LLP, Glenn F. Ploughman, Shelley Shifman, Prenick Langer LLP, Gardiner Roberts LLP, the Estate of Ronald J. Farano (deceased), and unnamed defendants (John Doe entities).

Judicial Decision: The court approved a consent motion to dismiss the remaining third-party actions. Justice Perell signed the order on December 8, 2023.

Successful Party: The document does not explicitly identify a "successful" party since the case was resolved through settlement. However, Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP and the third-party defendants (Mintz & Partners, Prenick Langer LLP, Gardiner Roberts LLP, and the Estate of Ronald J. Farano) could be seen as successful since their cases were dismissed without costs or further liability.

Monetary Award/Costs/Damages: The document does not specify any monetary awards, costs, or damages. It is unclear if any were granted, as the terms of the settlement are not detailed.
