Miller Thomson successful in Supreme Court of Canada : Southcott Estates Inc. v. Toronto Catholic District School Board.

Andrew M. (Sandy) Robinson,  Elizabeth Ackman and Andrea Farkouh of Miller Thomson’s Toronto office have prevailed in a recent Supreme Court of Canada decision involving their client, the Toronto Catholic District School Board versus Southcott Estates, a subsidiary of Ballantry Homes Inc.

The ruling highlights how a company that is a separate entity, but is part of a larger group of companies, is obliged to mitigate damages in a case of a breach of contract.
