Facts:

• Steven Friedrick, an employee of Kelturn Drywall Ltd. from 2005 to 2017, participated in a Retirement Compensation Arrangement (RCA) established in 2011.
• From 2012 to 2014, Mr. Friedrick directed approximately $35,000 annually from his bonuses into the RCA.
• After his employment ended, he discovered that Kelturn made no additional contributions beyond these bonuses.
• Mr. Friedrick claimed Kelturn breached the RCA terms by failing to contribute further, but the Chambers judge ruled against him, finding no such obligation in the RCA terms.

Legal Issues:

• Interpretation of the RCA terms regarding Kelturn’s obligation to make contributions beyond employee-directed bonuses.
• Whether the Chambers judge erred in interpreting the RCA as not requiring additional employer contributions.

Judgment:

• The Saskatchewan Court of Appeal upheld the Chambers judge's decision.
• It determined that the RCA intended only to facilitate tax-deferred employee bonuses and imposed no additional obligations on Kelturn to contribute beyond bonuses.

Disposition:

• The appeal was dismissed, with costs awarded to Kelturn Drywall Ltd.

Costs/Award:

• The total cost awarded was not explicitly stated in the judgment but was granted “in the usual manner.”
