Singh v. Singh
  • Facts: In "Singh v. Singh," the plaintiff, Sukhdeep Singh, sought the return of a $100,000 deposit paid to the defendant, Arminder Singh, under a second assignment agreement for a property purchase. The property was sold to a third party through a court order, preventing the defendant from transferring title to the plaintiff, leading to the dispute.

  • Issue: The main issue was whether the plaintiff was entitled to summary judgment for the return of the deposit or if the case required a full trial to resolve the matter of the deposit paid under the second assignment agreement.

  • Court’s Ruling: The Supreme Court of British Columbia granted summary judgment in favor of the plaintiff. The court found that the defendant breached the terms of the second assignment agreement by failing to transfer the property title, necessitating the return of the deposit to the plaintiff.

  • Amount of Costs/Damages Awarded: The plaintiff was awarded the $100,000 deposit plus interest pursuant to the Court Order Interest Act, along with the costs of the legal proceedings. The exact amount of costs was to be determined if the parties could not resolve the issue themselves, requiring further court intervention for assessment.
