HIGHLIGHTS

  • A Justice of the Saskatchewan Court of Queen's Bench has dismissed an action to enforce a contract for the future delivery of lentils on the grounds that the grain dealer seeking to enforce the contract was not licensed under the Canada Grain Act. The primary issue in the case was whether the grain dealer was exempt from registration under s. 83(2) of the Canada Grain Act on the grounds that the grain was not described by grade, and that payment for the grain was not to be made when the contract was signed or the grain was delivered. The case considers previous jurisprudence regarding the intent of licensing requirements under the Act. (Chaplin Grain Corporation v Antelope Creek Enterprises Ltd., CALN/2018-029, [2018] S.J. No. 435, Saskatchewan Court of Queen's Bench)
