- Parties: The plaintiff was the Estate of Georg Johann Louis Leibenzeder. The defendants were Glenda Ann MacIntyre, Derrick Piett, Adios Services, Tara Lea Rose Cowie, and Tyler Charles Cowie. 

- Subject Matter: This matter involved administration of an estate. In October 2020, the new administrator filed an action against the estate and Glenda Ann MacIntyre, the previous administrator. In April 2022, the estate filed an action against MacIntyre. In June 2022, after MacIntyre failed to defend herself in the estate action, a default judgment order was issued directing her to pay damages of $251,774 for misappropriation and conversion of $191,774 that she paid from the estate’s accounts to Adios Services and $60,000 that she paid from the estate’s accounts to Derrick Piett. The current proceeding addressed the assessment of outstanding damages for MacIntyre’s breaches of fiduciary duty, misappropriation, and conversion of estate assets. 

- Ruling: The court ruled in the plaintiff estate’s favour and ordered MacIntyre to pay it $335,062.10 in special damages (including $67,739.41 for the total sum of legal fees that MacIntyre paid McQuarrie Hunter LLP from the estate and $10,000 for the retainer that MacIntyre paid to the legacy from the estate), as well as $150,000 in punitive damages. 

- Date: The court released its decision on Feb. 6, 2025. 

- Venue: This was a case before the Supreme Court of British Columbia. 

- Amount: The court awarded the plaintiff total damages of $485,062.10.
