AM v CD, 2022 ONSC 1516 (check out link at bottom) 👇

The intersection of family law and COVID-19 has proven to be highly contentious and challenging. Amidst these challenging times, AM v CD is a recent case where dad, who has sole decision-making responsibility over the medical decisions of a child, seeks to prevent mom's motion to vaccinate L against COVID-19. It was decided there is not a material change in circumstances and it is not in the child's best interest to be vaccinated against COVID-19.

This decision touches on issues such as judicial notice, admissible evidence, onus, and much more. This decision adds to the list of case law on the issue of COVID-19 vaccines in the context of family law. I highly recommend you read the Honourable Justice Hackland's decision for more information, as it is very comprehensive.

We are looking to attend a case conference soon.

In short, I am grateful to God for this extremely humbling experience. Frankly, I am not sure where I would be without Him today. I would also like to pay my sincerest respects to opposing counsel and the Honourable Justice Hackland. This was not an easy matter to bring to court and I am certain it was a complicated decision to make. It was an honour to appear before the Honourable Justice Hackland and to work with opposing counsel in this case.

I am now working with another colleague in Ontario to appeal a decision of a similar nature. At the end of the day, I pray God's Will be done.

Thank you for reading and have a wonderful weekend!

Many Canadians give back to their communities. If you’re thinking of giving back to charities with a will, you may want to consider the tax benefits.

In giving back, you could obtain charitable donation tax credits to offset the tax triggered on the date of death - terminal tax return.

Usually, the benefit of making a charitable donation works up to about $0.15 of a credit for each dollar you donate. This credit is then used to offset your tax liability. The credit could increase depending on who receives your donation.

You may want to consider speaking with a lawyer for more information on the tax implications of making charitable donations with a will.

This partnership was announced yesterday.

The goal is to provide consumers with an opportunity to purchase items above $50.00 in instalments. The effort aims to help consumers avoid paying high credit card interest rates.

Considering a partnership agreement consists of (among other things), liabilities, contributions, management, handling of disputes, distribution of profits, and more…I wonder what the partnership agreement looks like.

Both are public companies. Is there an expectation that affirm will obtain options in Amazon public stock and vice versa? If so, when can they sell? What happens if poor management leads to a stock decline? Who’s liable? What are the dispute resolution options? Who deals with upset clients opting for instalment payments with Affirm while using Amazon’s platform? And MUCH more. Maybe the SEC might have something on this.

Anyway, this just poked my interest and I figured I’d share. Partnership agreements lay out the business relationship between other parties. It is important that your interests are protected. Feel free to contact Lozano Law PC to see how we can assist you.

Citation of Case:
Prowse et al. v. Noroozi, 2021 ONSC 3099 (CanLII)

This home was selling for $2.6 million in King City. Buyer placed an unconditional offer of $2.45 million.

Buyer was unable to close (financing problems) after the Sellers accommodated the Buyer by amending closing dates multiple times and reducing the purchase price by $100,000.

Sellers got tired and sold the property at $1.6 million to other parties.

Sellers sued the defaulting buyer for $750,000 in damages (difference of sale price $1.6 million and contract price of $2.35 million), out of pocket expenses and unexpected interest payments ($56,380.59), loss of interest in a lender take back mortgage ($69,571.23), and costs.

The Buyer argued, among other things, that $750,000 in damages should not be awarded as no damages had been sustained considering the property ultimately sold for $1.6 million…the true fair market value of the property.

The Ontario Superior Court of Justice disagreed with the defaulting Buyer and ordered the defaulting Buyer to pay the sellers $806,380.59 in damages.

Moral of the story:

Buyers…making unconditional offers carry considerable risk. As today’s hot real estate market drives prices off the charts, you could be on the hook for the difference of the sale price and your contract price + costs and special damages…whether or not the contract price is “inflated” by market conditions.

Suggestions: if you have to make an unconditional offer to get into the market, ensure you are pre-approved and the pre-approval won’t expire by the date offers are due. At the very least, this could give you some assurance your bank is comfortable approving the funds you need and might not risk defaulting.

*The house in the picture is, in fact, a Google street view of the property that was in dispute between the parties.*
