Summary

Case summaries are prepared by the Office of the Registrar of the Supreme Court of Canada (Law Branch). Please note that summaries are not provided to the Judges of the Court. They are placed on the Court file and website for information purposes only.

Domtar claimed more than $10 million from its all risks insurer, namely the cost of the machinery replaced minus the deductible under the insurance contract. The Superior Court dismissed the action on the ground that replacing the machinery was not necessary. The Court of Appeal dismissed it on the ground that the machinery had a latent defect.
