Defendant
Facts:
Bourgault Industries Ltd. (BIL) sued Kevin Graham, Jodi Graham, David Graham, and 102053515 Saskatchewan Ltd., operating as Buffalo AG, for allegedly misusing confidential information to develop a competing product. BIL claimed civil conspiracy, breach of contract, unjust enrichment, and reputational damage. Kevin Graham, a former employee, counterclaimed for wrongful dismissal and unfulfilled contractual promises related to shares in Bourgault CHN Investments Inc. (BCII).
Legal Issues:
Court Rulings:
The court dismissed portions of BIL’s disclosure applications, finding insufficient evidence of withheld documents. It allowed Kevin Graham’s counterclaim to proceed, citing evidence supporting possible agreements and unjust enrichment. Buffalo AG’s motion to strike BIL’s claim was denied, finding the conspiracy allegations plausible.
Costs/Awards:
No specific damages or costs were awarded, as the litigation was at an interlocutory stage. The parties were ordered to complete further procedural steps before trial.
