Total Meter Services Inc. v. Aplus General Contractors Corp. 2015 Ont SCJ
Subcontractor brought summary judgment motion.
It seemed apparent that subcontractor had not delivered all documents called for under the contract, including warranty documents and as-builts. Subcontractor claimed that it did not have to deliver the documents because contractor had not paid it in full. The judge refused to grant the motion and held that a 10% holdback of the entire contract was not unreasonable because the documents were important.
