Contract Termination & Injunction

Bombardier Transportation Canada Inc. v. Metrolinx 2017 Ont SCJ

The contract contained a dispute resolution procedure. After giving a default notice and a notice that the owner might terminate the contract, the contractor, who had invoked the dispute resolution procedures, moved for an injunction to force the owner to continue with the dispute resolution procedures rather than terminate. Based on the unusual facts of the case, the judge granted the injunction.
