Construction Summer
MILLER THOMSON LLP Barristers & Solicitors, Patent & Trade-Mark Agents CONSTRUCTION LAW NEWSLETTER Summer 2005 CAN A TRUST CLAIM UNDER THE CONSTRUCTION LIEN ACT BE A publication of Miller MAINTAINED AGAINST A DISCHARGED Thomson LLP’s BANKRUPT? Construction Law Group Craig Mills Toronto 416.595.8596 [email protected] The Ontario Court of Appeal has held that in certain circumstances, lien claims under the Construction Lien Act (Ontario) ("CLA") can survive bankruptcy. In Commdoor Aluminum v. Solar Sunrooms Inc., the Court of Appeal dismissed an appeal of a trial decision which held that a breach of trust claim under section 8 of the CLA can be maintained despite the bankruptcy of the defendant contractor. In this case, Solar Sunrooms Inc. ("Solar") had successfully bid on several commercial projects for the supply of glass and aluminum components. It subsequently ordered various glass and aluminum components from Commdoor Aluminum ("Commdoor"). Over time, Solar ran into financial difficulties, largely due to having grossly underbid on most of its commercial jobs. Although it struggled to make some payments to Commdoor (and, in fact, did make some payments), it was unable to clear the balance owing to Commdoor. As a direct result of its difficulties, both Solar and its principal, Demarco, made assignments into bankruptcy. Inside Demarco was discharged from bankruptcy. Commdoor subsequently commenced an action against Solar and Demarco for approximately $79,000, claiming that Can a Trust Claim Under the Construction Lien Act be both breached the trust provisions contained in section 8 of the CLA by failing to Maintained Against a account for monies received on each job and failing to ensure that the persons Discharged Bankrupt? supplying the materials and services were paid.
