Good evening:
Following are the summaries for this week's civil decisions of the Court of Appeal for Ontario. In York (Regional Municipality) v. Tsui, the Court concluded that municipal by-laws that circumscribe the hours of operation of body rub parlours are not criminal laws and therefore not ultra vires. In Chapman v. GPM Investment Management, the Court found that an employer's refusal to pay out a significant bonus because it interpreted the bonus provision in the employment agreement differently from the employee did not constitute constructive dismissal, even though the refusal to pay the bonus turned out to be in breach of the employment agreement. In Scaduto v Cucu, the Court considered whether to grant amicus curiae status to a party that had been adverse in interest in previous proceedings.
