The case Conquest Steel Inc. v. Polar Racking Inc., 2024 ONSC 5029, deals with a motion for summary judgment filed by Conquest Steel Inc. (plaintiff) against Polar Racking Inc. (defendant) in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. Key points are:

  • Plaintiff: Conquest Steel Inc. (now known as The Roshan Group Inc., following a name change after an asset-purchase transaction).
  • Defendant: Polar Racking Inc., involved in solar panel racking systems.

Summary of Claims:

  • Conquest sought payment for custom-manufactured goods sold to Polar. The total claim was $195,253.54, including invoiced and uninvoiced products, lost profits, tooling costs, and storage fees.
  • Polar conceded $50,207.26 for invoiced goods but disputed the rest.

Court Findings:

  • Undisputed Invoices: The court granted judgment for $50,207.26, with 2% monthly interest.
  • Uninvoiced Products: Conquest was awarded $27,717.54, as Polar repudiated the contract by refusing to pick up the items.
  • Purchase Order No. 3126: Conquest’s claim for $31,752.48 was dismissed due to insufficient evidence of damages from Polar’s termination.
  • Storage Fees: The court found Conquest was not entitled to storage fees as Polar never agreed to them.

Outcome:

  • The motion was granted in part, awarding Conquest $77,924.80 (including interest on the invoiced and uninvoiced amounts). The rest of the claims were dismissed.
