2024 Decision (2024 ONSC 7046):
- The Ontario Superior Court of Justice dismissed Dean Henderson's claims against Sicotte Guilbault LLP and Joseph Marcel Denis Sicotte.
- The court ruled that the claims for fraudulent conveyance, unjust enrichment, and conspiracy were insufficiently pleaded and lacked a reasonable cause of action.
- The court awarded the Sicotte defendants $18,662 in costs on a substantial indemnity basis, payable by Henderson within 30 days.
-
2025 Decision (2025 ONSC 139):
- This decision amends the earlier judgment to adjust cost awards for clarity.
- The court affirmed that Henderson’s claims against the Sicotte defendants were dismissed without leave to amend, as the allegations remained unsupported by sufficient particulars.
- Costs of $11,750.11 on a substantial indemnity basis were awarded to the Sicotte defendants, to be paid by Henderson within 30 days.
Final Outcome:
The Sicotte defendants successfully had all claims against them dismissed in both decisions. Henderson was ordered to pay a total of $30,412.11 in costs. The allegations of fraudulent conveyance, conspiracy, and unjust enrichment were found baseless under the applicable legal standards.
