Shelvan (PannirShelvan Kannuthurai is a fraud. He tries to run businesses and once he gets as much money as he can from innocent people he closes the business and files for bankruptcy. Shelvan and his wife work together with other individuals to defraud innocent families. He works with an individual named Tom Thiru to scam others.

Over a decade ago he opened up a school business and got students from around the world to pay high tuition fees. Once they came here, he did not provide them with what they deserved. He lied and made it seem as though the school is legitimate but in reality it was all fantasy.

Shelvan also opened up a charity foundation named Inukshuk Foundation.
http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2010/07/29/parents_run_day_camp_after_coaches_staff_quit.html

Shelvan also was behind a scheme in a mortgage fraud with an innocent family. He discharged a husband and wife's mortgage without their consent and even admitted to doing it! That family is now in loss of over $500, 000 and they are begging for justice.

Shelvan is now trying to scam more people but at a larger scale. If you see the website for MetroZen you will be shocked as it looks legitimate. In reality he does not even work. He just has big plans with other people's hard earned money.

Recently, a lawyer named Kumar S Sriskanda's license was taken from him because he was involved in mortgage frauds. (http://www.canlii.org/en/on/onlst/doc/2015/2015onlsth188/2015onlsth188.html?searchUrlHash=AAAAAQAJc3Jpc2thbmRhAAAAAAE&resultIndex=1)

also recently, Metrozen went under investigation from the FSCO https://www.fsco.gov.on.ca/en/about/enforcement/enforcement-online/Documents/2016-jan-1063-Metrozen.html

My guess is Tom Thiru and Sanjay Kumar Doshi will be next. All of them worked together and now the truth is starting to be revealed.

Saying false statements in court to get judgment in your favour. Please explain this.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lcNSOPuMUQ

Why this was not used in court? Because lawyer JM decided to not bring it up. All lawyers worked together to make it as if this fraudulent act had never happened.

Resolved

FSCO has taken action. (FSCO conclusion) For the reasons set out above and such further and other grounds as the Superintendent may specify, the Superintendent has issued the interim suspension order and proposes to permanently revoke the licences of Metrozen Capital and Ms. Seifollahi. https://www.fsco.gov.on.ca/en/about/enforcement/enforcement-online/Documents/2016-jan-1063-Metrozen.html

So again the Lawyers and the Real Estate Board is supporting this Fraudster/scammer/Schemer to sell or transfer the property which had a lien of more than $800, 000 + interest = over 1 Million Dollars. OMG, where is JUSTICE for the innocent victims, who are on the road and crying for justice in Canada. Why the RCMP/OPP/SIU/ and the Regional Police of Toronto never take any actions against them and allowing them to defraud the innocent home-owners and also allowing them to steal the Canadian economy ? Who is going to give the justice to these victims in Canada?

This is one of the houses involved in one of the many cases of mortgage fraud committed by this group of people. If this house ever get put up for sale again, please just proceed with care during the sale. This is an issue that affects the general public, just putting it out there so no one is subject to a potential scam.

Although it says their license has been suspended, Metrozen inc. is still live. This leaves me confused. This company shouldn’t be aloud to continue operating it has a long history of ruining the lives of innocent hardworking people and their families. I have witnessed this first hand as my fellow peers have been affected. All the guys mentioned above are fraudsters and anything that they have created needs to be shutdown!

Now Law Society started a professional misconduct case against Lawyer Terry Walman, please contact them. He is the one who helping all the fraudsters/scammers to steal the innocents properties by title fraud mortgage scam. His mortgage corporation (earlier) doesn't have any mortgage lending licence from financial service commission. I don't know why the law society of Ontario or the Fsco didn't inform the RCMP or to the OPP. He gave his personal cheque and got my mortgage from Home Trust without my knowledge or consent. I don't have any default mortgage with Home Trust. He registered the ownership of my property mentioned that I gave him 2$ donation. I never know him...never met him...even I don't have any relationship with him legally or illegally...! Even my husband never had any relationship with him to give our valuable property for 2$. Its a million dollar worth of property in Scarborough. Please ...don't trust them so many lawyers in a team doing this kind of fraud and damaging Canadian economy and making money by fraud.

Lawyer James Morton manipulated the legal system, misled the court process and also allowed the 2 Lawyers Kesavan Thangavel and Sanjaykumar Doshi to escape from Justice and put the innocent clients to pay more cost/legal fees to them after they spent more than $150, 000 on legal fees to the lawyers, all these days and crying for Justice in Canada. I am wondering why the Judges are supporting these fraudsters/mortgage scammers and giving favourable Judgements on their side. Where is Justice ? . Yes., for my case he came on record in March, 2012 (CV-[protected] & CV-[protected] (Newmarket) never proceed my case on time and allowed both lawyers who did the title fraud to discontinue from my case without my consent or knowledge and did the record of removal in June, 2012. See, he is a Professional Lawyer, written so many Legal Books but he supported the Fraudsters/Mortgage Scammers and the lawyers and also to the famous fraudster /Mortgage Scammer Mr.Tom Thiru aka Thirukumar Thirunavukarasu and his another partner Mr.Pannershelvan Kannuthurai in so many cases and also allowed them both to escape from JUSTICE., Yes...Because of his professional misconduct and negligence only We still crying for Justice and spending more money on other lawyers. Thank God...At last Lord heard our prayers and answered to us...! In Another case, that man Mr.Baskaran Sivapiragasam, really got heart attack, because of Mr.James Morton's Professional Misconduct & Negligence, and still crying for Justice. and spending more money on other lawyers to get Justice. He only allowed/Support the Lawyer Doshi Sanjaykumar to escape from Justice. Even he went for a settlement of $100, 000 and James Morton never proceed his case properly and allowed the lawyer Doshi Sanjaykumar to escape from Justice. The one and only evidence is the CD, , but James Morton refused to file it in court and helped him fraud/scam more innocents in Canada, What is behind this ? Mr.James Morton support the fraudster/Mortgage scammers Panneershelvan Kannuthurai and Mr.Tom Thiru aka Thirukumar Thirunavukarasu to escape from JUSTICE. He allowed them both including the Home Trust to escape from Justice and put the client on the road. Canadian Revenue Agency & Law Society of Upper Canada must Audit his assets and bring the truth to the public. The very first day when we met him to retain Mr James Morton mentioned that he had more than 13 genuine cases against these 2, specially about Mr.Tom Thiru. But my question is, why he never won any one of these cases and allowed them to fraud/scam more people and put the innocents to cry for Justice. What is behind all these is speaking ? Where is Justice ? We have all the legal documents to prove.

Shelvan, his wife, tom thiru and hometrust should have come to court for mr.baskaran sivapragasams case, when James morton should have called them. Since he didn’t call them the case went in favour of dhoshi. James morton was a corrupt lawyer and he is finally facing the consequenses he deserves.

Let’s go step by step:
Who came to borrow the money from Mr.Thiru’s Investor? Patrick Paskaran Joseph,
NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. The Lender gave $100, 000.00 as a second
mortgage, the borrower’s received the 2 nd mortgage advance money through the
borrowers lawyers, with one-year open term at 12% was advance on October
02/2015; Patrick Paskaran Joseph did received the certified cheque payable to him
via Lawyers and in return Mr. Patrick Paskaran Joseph gave his personal cheques for
the mortgage payment, most of them returned as NSF (No sufficient funds in the
account), Patrick Paskaran Joseph has communicated with Mr.Thiru and Lender via
text messages, phone calls and made some of the NSF payments in total only paid
4months payment in the period of 2 years and 5 months, plus mist property taxes
and condo fees. After several collection calls and meetings with Mr.Patrick. On or
about after 6 months of Non-payment of mortgage, Lender’s lawyer proceeded with
legal action. These people haven’t followed the Canadian mortgage contract law and
failed to pay their mortgage loan, as per the loan agreement and charge; Lender has
followed the Canadian legal system and obtained a Judgment on March 07/2017.
The borrowers and their lawyer defended this action; both Patrick Paskaran Joseph
and Gnanamalar Shanmugam lied & testified at the Court. The borrowers appealed
to the Superior Court and lost the case on March 05/2018. The Lender and Mr. Thiru
have been very patient over 2 years now. The Owner has not paid property taxes,
condo fees and kept the property full of garbage. It took 4 people to clean up for the
whole day. Now, Investors have possession of the property jointly with Scotiabank
and the subject property will be sold to recover lender’s money. Already, many
people have seen it and are putting in offers. As per lender’s lawyers investigation,
on April 18 th /2018 these both borrowers have filed Bankruptcy on or above 2017 to
intentionally fraud the lenders from the subject property. It is very clear these
borrowers had a plan to defraud the lender, but Mr. Thiru, lender and lenders
lawyer STOP this criminal. It took us over 2 years and all the Court costs, property
taxes, condo fees, Scotiabank mortgage payment, Lock smith payment, property
management cost, clean up cost, property renovation and second mortgage payment
are paid by the lenders. See the attached documents, you must encourage everyone
to Not miss a mortgage payment and if they can’t make it, the borrowers/owners
have the option to sell the property and settle all the mortgage debts. In the
mortgage lending industry, we only see 3% to 4% end up in power of sale or
foreclosure situation. There is a very positive outcome from all this; many people
contacted me and Mr.Thiru for private mortgage investments, where they can make
12% return on their investment, they all understood our unique underwritings and
due-diligence systems, which has protected our investors. After all, God still protects
and rewards the good people.

Are you One of them………..
Some Tamils feel the need to compare themselves with one another and they feel
good looking at other people’s pain. They thrive off of gossiping when others are
suffering. You will find these kinds of people in almost every community, however;
at times you wonder if Tamils have the most. After all, they know it is all based upon
lies made by some bullies in the Tamil community. Now, they play the victim’s card
to manipulate others into thinking that they are the victims in this situation, yet they
are the frauds. Thedipaar (Tamil Media) has broadcasted false information that has
to do with title insurances and fraud mortgages. Rather than proceeding with an
investigation to find out what really happened and to inform the public. The mislead
the Tamil community into thinking that this second mortgage was a fraud mortgage.
Nevertheless, this was a legitimate second mortgage loan that they borrowed as a
mortgage loan, and the borrowers failed to pay. This media needs to make the
Tamil community aware that a mortgage loan needs monthly payments and NOT to
default on it, nor blame the lenders for the borrowers failure to do so. It seems like
this particular Media is promoting the Tamil community not to pay mortgages.
What is interesting is that these people who engaged in this negative and misleading
social media messages, have gotten their life shortened and they have become
mentally ill, due to this. Why do we care about what others have failed, such, as
people didn’t pay their mortgage payment or their personal debt. When there is no
way, we can or should control their life's outcome? Again, are we willing to pay off
their mortgage payments or their debt’s. NO, but we like to support them with their
comments and empty hands (Nobody coming up with money to make payments for
them). A prime example of this is, Lady Yamunakumari Nithiyanathan, who has
damaged many people’s lives and reputation. This includes a big lost for many
financial institutions that are till this day, have not received any payments from her.
People who believe in the Gospel will never do such a thing, but we see the opposite
from these people, including these Priests, in the picture. I hope this message may
change These Tamil People’s Thought Process towards a positive direction.
STOP cyber bullying and try to be a good human being. My name is Carolyn and
a White person, who knows Mr.Thiru and all his Investors very well. They all follow
the law with their own lending terms & conditions when they invest/lend their own
money, similar to a bank or trust company would do. Many people are very
saddened by the recent “Fake social media messages” that have affected Mr.Thiru’s
family, Lender’s Lawyer, Lender; Ivan Blazevic and Mr. Thiru, Financial Planner.
They always act on behalf of the Investors & Lenders and make sure the
underwriting & due-diligence is very sound so that bad people and fraudster can’t
run away with the mortgage money. This has happened about 3 times in the past,
somehow; the Lenders have recovered most of the money. Now, there are people
like Patrick and his wife who tried to run away without paying the mortgage. As per
my investigation, Patrick & his wife have taken this Second mortgage of $100, 000.00
and given to one of their Tamil friends, as a loan for a higher interest return, when
their friend stop making the payment, the family problem started between the
couple. They stop making payment to Scotiabank mortgage, second mortgage,
property taxes, condo fees, and both filed bankruptcy. They planned beforehand
then made a different story to Tamil community via social media.
But the truth has been prevailed through the Superior Court and the Appeal Court.
Mr. Thiru makes articulate and precise decisions for his investors, where he is the
forefront of the team for the Investors, such as, collection letters, Court proceeding
when/if the borrowers didn’t make the mortgage payment, Eviction proceedings
and property sale proceedings to recover the investor’s money. All these STEP’s are
taken to protect and recover the Investors money (Mortgage Money). It's easy to
play the victim, looking at what others have done to us, rather; ask yourself some
question, Why do you take this mortgage? How many payments are you behind?
Why is it ONLY happening to you? While the Lenders has many other mortgages and
borrowers, why don’t they have this kind of payment problem. That will answer
your entire question. Firstly, you’re in default of mortgage payment and you have
failed from your financial obligation to the Creditors. Even if a bank, they will
proceed with a legal action to recover their funds. It's easy to look at others and
point fingers. I envy Mr. Thiru and his position where he has to run with a time line
to recover his Investors money. Mr. Thiru and his Lenders are the real victims,
because they gave the mortgage money to some bad Tamil borrowers. So, what's the
antidote to this kind of envy and jealousy? How can we move this external focus
inward and turn frustration and disappointment into a motivating good people like
Mr.Thiru. Only take the facts and try to avoid all negative opinions, like what we
have here in this website page. I would ask people using Social Media, are you
promoting the bad people and their bad behaviours or promote the good peoples
and their success.
Let’s move to the truth of the matter with property 29 Edenpark Drive, Brampton.
As you know, an Investor, and a Lender, when lending out money, normally full
appraisals are taken and property owners have to meet with appraisers, as well as
Lender’s inspectors prior to the Lender’s loan approval. Then, send the money to
their Lawyer’s to do their legal work to complete the final transaction. The borrower
and his spouse have their own lawyers to act and advise them. Once all matter has
been satisfied by the lawyers ONLY then will the mortgage funds be advanced. In
some cases, the borrowers default on their mortgage payments, Lenders and
Mr.Thiru are in the front to proceed with the legal action against the borrowers.
This includes following up with lawyers, attending the Courts, dealing with police or
sheriff, they follow the law & order, evict the owners and sell the property & recover
the investment. These dishonest borrowers can't run away with the Lenders money,
like what Yamunakuari, Nimalan Gunarajah & Suthanthy Aravinthan have done in
the past to many banks and did the same to the private investors. It is very simple if
you borrow money make the mortgage payment, if not, the Lenders have to follow
the law and take legal action to recover the investment money. Patrick Paskaran
Joseph and his wife Gnanamalar Shanmugam were trying to run away with the
mortgage money; the lender proceeded with legal action and further with the
foreclosure of their property to protect and recover the investor’s money. Now, all
of these people can NOT borrower any money from any banks and Trust companies.

Yamunakumari, You have admitted that you have created this website in 2009 to bully people who has lend you the money to purchase this property. Ever since, this property was sold under power of sale from lender to next. As we all can see from the parcel search, you and your family members flip the property ownership from one family member to another family member on the way you are cheating all the Lenders. Here is the copy of the parcel search and Home Trust power of sale proceeding for non-payment of mortgage. As per the parcel search, It is pretty obvious to us that you were not paying mortgage to many banks and private lenders. You like to live free, without paying mortgage payment. It is not right and it is not fare. Please stop being dishonest and try to be a good person. STOP CYBER BULLYING...

After reading all this and having some private investigating on the complaints, The lady Yamunakumari Nithiyananthan and Nimalan Gunarajan has set up this complaints board website in 2009, which is right after both of them lost their properties for non payment of mortgage. Mr. Tom Thiru is a very good man, and I have known him for a long time. AsK anyone, he came from a high class family. Now there are trying to go through the social media to take a revenge on innocent people. What are they going to do if the bank took their property for non payment of mortgage? Yamunakumari's previous property known 22 Gaitwin place has been to power of sale by the three diffrent banks prior last time. What a scam artist these people. Now they have very well planned it and executing it as a good people in their own website. Get a life, now that we all know about it. Go to work and try to come up in life rather than digging your own grave. STOP cyber bullying people.

I don't how you are cheating the public/Government of Canada/RCMP/OPP/SIU and also the Regional Police of Toronto/Peel and the Durham Region and still escaping from the Justice.

CITATION: Baskaran v. Doshi, 2016 ONCA 796
DATE: [protected]
DOCKET: C60718
Rouleau, van Rensburg and Miller JJ.A.

BETWEEN
Sivapragrasam Baskaran and Karunawathy Baskaran

Plaintiffs (Appellants)
and

Sanjaykumar M. Doshi and Home Trust Company

Defendants (Respondent)
Todd Robinson and Christopher Selby, for the appellants

Sean Dewart and Chris Donovan, for the respondent

Heard and released orally: October 24, 2016

On appeal from the judgment of Justice Wendy M. Matheson of the Superior Court of Justice, dated June 9, 2015.

ENDORSEMENT

[1] Other than the issue of damages which we need not deal with, the appellants’ submissions are all tied to their argument that the trial judge erred in not applying the appropriate standard of care for a solicitor. Specifically, the trial judge did not apply the law on or make findings with respect to a solicitor’s duty to warn of the consequences flowing from signing or/and registering a mortgage discharge.
[2] We disagree. At trial, the plaintiffs testified that they never attended at the solicitor’s office. Their position was that he was negligent in failing to take reasonable steps to ensure that he was in fact dealing with the plaintiffs before purporting to act for them and discharging their mortgages. The plaintiffs’ counsel at trial conceded that if the trial judge found that contrary to the plaintiffs’ evidence they had indeed met with the solicitor and signed the discharges then the action failed.
[3] The trial judge accepted the evidence of the solicitor that the plaintiffs did meet and did execute the releases, and the trial judge rejected the evidence of the plaintiffs that they never attended. These credibility findings are well supported in the record.
[4] Given the concession of the plaintiffs’ counsel at trial, the trial judge was not in our view required to go on and specifically deal with whether the solicitor met the duty to warn of the consequences of signing and registering a discharge. That was not a live issue at trial. In any event, the only evidence at trial on that issue was that of the solicitor that he would have followed his normal practice, that is, of advising of the consequences of signing and registering a discharge.
[5] For these reasons, the appeal is dismissed.
[6] Costs to the respondent fixed $12, 500, inclusive of disbursements and applicable taxes.

Money is speaking every where... if the opp or rcmp involved in this matter only everything will come out... the case never went for examination or discovery everything is set up. even that lady have all the evidence... lawyers are making money. even 2nd mortgage was closed by the lawyer kesavan, his licence was revoked, because he frauded 13 property...! 3 lawyers who were involved in this property matter were revoked by the law society of upper canada. (1) kesavan thangamudali. (2) kumar sriskanda. (3) norman silver. this lady's lawyers are making money only, they never filed any proper documents/evidence in court., even they never proceed on time dragging the case, also never follow the rules, that means never go for examination or discovery before the trials. really I am wondering, how the person tom thiru (going as so many names, his legal name is thirukumar thirunavukarasu) doesn't have any mortgage lending licence from financial service commission, caneasily get judgements from the superior court judges. actually this is a big mortgage scam, when I searched and found lot of lawyers and home trust, even first canadian title insurance involved in this mortgage scam, and getting favourable judgements in their favours and putting the innocents on the road. tom thiru/thirukumar thirunavukarasu aka sutharvilli thirukumar (wife, but tom thiru filed/signed legal documents even affidavits on her name) his manager declared that tom. thiru and his financial institution... vkt financial concept inc (doesn't have fysco licence) assets is $ 100 million, but he never declared or filed in canadian revenue agency. even tom thiru/sutharvilli thirukumar gave and filed affidavits in court that his father-in law and brother-in law brought money (million dollars) from sri lanka without declaring from both country immigration departments.. I am really wondering there is no justice or law and orders for these innocents. these criminals escaping and still running these businesses without licence and not declaring /filing anything with cra. tom. thitu's wife sutharvilli thirukumar declared bankruptcy after cheated so many innocents and made millions of dollars. but... one day everything will come out... I don't know why these people never go to the media to bring everything to the public.

COUNSEL: Todd Robinson and Kate Byers, for the Plaintiff

HEARD: April 11, 2016

ENDORSEMENT

Introduction

[1] This action was commenced in 2010 and concerns a dispute with respect to the title to the property at 22 Gaitwin Place in Scarborough, Ontario that was owned by the plaintiff. The plaintiff alleges that both a second mortgage and a third mortgage were fraudulent and that the power of sale proceedings brought by the second mortgagee in November 2009, which resulted in her losing the property, was also fraudulent. As a result, the plaintiff seeks damages from numerous defendants. Sanjaykumar Doshi was the plaintiff’s lawyer on the second mortgage and Thangavel Kesavan was her lawyer on the third mortgage, registered in March 2008.

[2] The plaintiff seeks an order declaring that the Full and Final Releases she signed on July 28, 2011 in favour of the defendant, Sanjaykumar Doshi and the Full and Final Releases that she and her husband signed in favour of the defendant Thangavel Kesavan (referred to collectively as the “lawyer defendants”) are invalid and of no force and effect and an order declaring that the Notice of Discontinuance, dated May 7, 2012, as against the lawyer defendants is invalid and of no effect and that it be set aside.

[3] The position of the plaintiff is that immediately after signing the Releases, she and her husband, who signed the Release in favour of Mr. Kesavan, decided not to proceed with any settlement with the lawyer defendants. The plaintiff maintains that contrary to her instructions, her former lawyer, Mr. Goswami, mistakenly delivered the Releases to counsel for the lawyer defendants just before getting off the record and then Mr. Morton, who took over as her counsel, failed to follow her instructions and mistakenly served a Notice of Discontinuance as against the lawyer defendants which was served on counsel for the lawyer defendants and counsel for the other defendants. Counsel who received these documents were Mr. Phillips, counsel for Mr. Kesavan and Mr. Skolnik, counsel for Mr. Doshi.

The Evidence

[4] The motion proceeded on the basis of affidavit evidence only. The plaintiff swore an affidavit. On behalf of Mr. Kesavan, an affidavit was sworn by Adam Hummel, an associate at Mr. Phillips’ firm. On behalf of Mr. Doshi, Judy Chang, an assistant at Mr. Skolnik’s firm, swore and was filed an affidavit, essentially adopting the contents of Mr. Hummel’s’ affidavit. No affidavits were filed by any of the lawyers who have direct personal knowledge of this matter. None of the parties sought to conduct any cross-examinations on the affidavits or Rule 39.03 examinations of the lawyers who have personal knowledge of the matters in issue.

[5] A preliminary issue raised by Ms. Byers is that the responding affidavits are inadmissible and unreliable as they contain hearsay evidence from Mr. Phillips and Mr. Skolnik with respect to contentious issues that go to the heart of the matter and that they have attempted to circumvent the rule that a barrister cannot be both a witness and counsel.

[6] In particular Ms. Byers complains that the affidavits allege that a settlement was agreed to with Mr. Goswami. As Mr. Phillips submitted, in the Fresh as Amended Notice of Motion, one of the grounds for the motion is stated to be that on February 17, 2012, without the knowledge of the plaintiff and contrary to her instructions, her former counsel confirmed a settlement and sent the Releases to counsel for the lawyer defendants.

[7] I accept the submissions of Mr. Robinson that the plaintiff is not bound by a statement of fact set out in the grounds in support of her motion but I do not fault counsel for the lawyer defendants arranging to have others in their firm swear affidavits. This is commonly done on motions so that counsel familiar with the action can argue the motion. An affidavit can be made on information and belief where the source is stated. In addition to the Notice of Motion which confirmed that a settlement had been reached, the thrust of the plaintiff’s affidavit is that her counsel were mistaken or acted contrary to her instructions, not that there was no completed settlement agreement. That was something that is now argued by counsel for the plaintiff. It is only with hindsight that it can be said that it would have been preferable for Mr. Phillips and Mr. Skolnik to swear the affidavits on this motion.

[8] There is no dispute that the documents filed in the motion records, being copies of emails and letters, are authentic. As set out in para. 28 of the plaintiff’s Factum, there is no dispute that signed releases were sent by Mr. Goswami and the Notice of Discontinuance was sent by Mr. Morton to counsel for the lawyer defendants. For the reasons that I will come to, this motion can be determined by relying solely on the undisputed facts as reflected by those documents, without regard to the contested hearsay evidence concerning oral communications between counsel. I will however include this evidence in my chronology although I have identified it as hearsay to indicate that I have placed no reliance on this evidence in deciding this motion.

The Chronology

[9] In July 2011, the plaintiff retained Suvendu Goswami to act as her counsel. She admits that at that time, Mr. Goswami recommended she discontinue the action against Messrs. Doshi and Kesavan.

[10] In a letter from Mr. Skolnik to Mr. Goswami, sent by fax on July 25, 2011, Mr. Skolnik stated that when he and Mr. Goswami last spoke, Mr. Goswami had advised he would seek instructions from his client to discontinue the action against Mr. Doshi (double hearsay). Mr. Skolnik stated that he had received instructions and “can advise that my client is prepared to consent to the delivery by your client of a Notice of Discontinuance on a without-cost basis, provided the enclosed Release in favour of my client is executed by yours”. Mr. Skolnik stated that he was sending a copy of this correspondence to Mr. Phillips as he suspected that Mr. Phillips would be seeking similar instructions. He finished the letter by asking that Mr. Goswami have his client “execute the Release and return same to me along with a Notice of Discontinuance”.

[11] By letter dated July 26, 2011, Mr. Phillips confirmed to Mr. Goswami that further to their recent telephone conversation (contents not disclosed but would be double hearsay) and Mr. Skolnik’s letter of July 25, 2011, that he similarly had instructions that his client was prepared to consent to the delivery by Mr. Goswami’s client of a Notice of Discontinuance on a without-costs basis, provided that the enclosed Release in favour of his client was executed by both the plaintiff and her husband, who was a signatory to the subject mortgages.

[12] On July 28, 2011, the plaintiff and her husband attended at Mr. Goswami’s offices and signed the Releases although she swears that they did so “reluctantly”. She claims that immediately afterward she contacted Mr. Goswami to inform him that she did not want to discontinue her action or release either lawyer “given their significant involvement in the fraudulent transactions at issue in this action”. There is no evidence that these new instructions were put in writing at that time.

[13] Mr. Phillips sent a follow-up letter to Mr. Goswami by fax on October 7, 2011. In that letter, Mr. Phillips stated that his letter of July 26, 2011 “was sent following your confirmation that your client is prepared to discontinue this matter on a without-costs basis, as against my client” (double hearsay). Mr. Phillips requested that Mr. Goswami return three originally executed copies of LawPro’s standard Full and Final Release which had been previously sent and that the Notice of Discontinuance be served and filed so that “we may close out our file”. Mr. Skolnik was copied on the letter. To be clear, given the submissions of counsel for the plaintiff, for the purpose of this motion I do not rely on the truth of the statement made by Mr. Phillips in this letter that Mr. Goswami confirmed that the plaintiff was prepare to discontinue the action on a without-costs basis.

[14] A few months later, in an e-mail to the plaintiff dated February 9, 2012, Mr. Goswami stated, “I have not proceeded to discontinue the action against the two lawyers as we awaited the results of the Newmarket motions and your further instructions.” [emphasis added] Counsel advised me that there was related litigation in a separate action in Newmarket. I note that this email does not make any reference to the Releases already signed and suggests that the plaintiff had only told Mr. Goswami to hold off on the Notice of Discontinuance. By this point Mr. Goswami had decided to remove himself from the record. He ended the e-mail with the statement that he left it to the plaintiff’s “new lawyers” to deal with the outstanding issues.

[15] In a letter dated February 9, 2012 faxed to Mr. Goswami and copied to Mr. Skolnik, Mr. Phillips stated that Mr. Goswami had, on two prior occasions, promised to provide his client’s executed Release (double hearsay) and it had still not been received. The letter concluded:

Please ensure that the executed Release is provided by no later than Friday, February 17, 2012.

We trust it will not be necessary to seek instructions to enforce the terms of the settlement, at which time costs will be sought as against your client. [Emphasis added]

[16] On February 17, 2012 Mr. Goswami sent a fax to Mr. Phillips attaching the Full and Final Release executed by the plaintiff. In the cover sheet he stated, “Original will be mailed soon. Please be advised that I am moving to remove myself from the Record in this action unless the plaintiff sends a notice of change of lawyer or a notice of intention to act in person.”

[17] I presume the same fax was sent to Mr. Skolnik. He wrote to Mr. Goswami by letter faxed on February 17, 2012 acknowledging receipt of the faxed copy of the Release, duly executed by his client. He stated, “While I thank you for same, I am curious as to why this Release which was executed on July 28, 2011 is just being delivered now.” Mr. Skolnik also expressed confusion about the fact that the fax cover sheet indicated Mr. Goswami would be moving to have himself removed as lawyer of record, given the only step remaining in the action was for him to deliver a Notice of Discontinuance. He went on to state:

You have previously written to both Mr. Phillips and I advising that the plaintiff was prepared to deliver a Notice of Discontinuance. Certainly, the execution of the Release would seem to confirm that view. I am therefore at a loss to understand why you do not simply deliver the Notice of Discontinuance and file same with the court.

Mr. Phillips and I do not want to have to be in a position to move to enforce the settlement. That would be needless waste of time and expense, the bulk of which would be borne by your client. [Emphasis added]

[18] I note that no letters are in evidence where Mr. Goswami advised counsel for the defendants that the plaintiff was prepared to deliver a Notice of Discontinuance although having signed the Release that would have necessarily followed as she had released the lawyer defendants from all claims.

[19] On April 3, 2012, Mr. James Morton served a Notice of Change of Lawyer on the defendants. By e-mail dated April 4, 2012, Mr. Morton wrote to the plaintiff and stated that he had been going through the file and that fully executed Releases were delivered to the lawyers for the lawyer defendants and he attached a copy of the Releases. He also referred to the fact that a motion was being brought by the remaining defendants to set aside the noting in default and default judgment, returnable April 13, 2012. He concluded with the request that he be given instructions as soon as possible. A portion of the letter is redacted on the basis of solicitor-client privilege.

[20] Presumably in response to that letter the plaintiff sent an e-mail to Jennifer Blaney of Mr. Morton’s firm at 4:39 p.m. on Friday, April 6, 2012. She apologized for the delay in responding and stated:

Mr. Goswami forced me to sign the document for removing Kesavan and Doshi and informed me that he wouldn’t file the document unless needed and without my instructions, I told him not to continue to releasing these individuals numerous times. Please let Mr. Morton know I agree with his suggestion to set aside the default and move forward. Can Mr. Morton please advice (sic) what would be the best way to continue with or without Mr. Doshi and Mr. Kesavan. [(Emphasis added])

[21] This email suggests that the plaintiff was still undecided about whether to continue her action against Mr. Doshi and Mr. Kesavan and wanted advice on that issue from Mr. Morton.

[22] At 9:16 p.m., on the same day, Mr. Morton responded by email:

I think releasing the lawyers was a mistake (Goswami’s mistake) but will proceed on the basis of this e-mail. Thanks again. (Emphasis added)

[23] The plaintiff relies on this email in support of her position that Mr. Morton made an error when he sent out the Notice of Discontinuance. She does not allege, however, having any further conversations with Mr. Morton and his email to her is ambiguous. It could be interpreted as Mr. Morton confirmed that he would decide what to do with the lawyer defendants as she was relying on him to advise her in that regard.

[24] On Sunday April 8, 2012, at 5:19 p.m. Mr. Skolnik sent an e-mail to Mr. Morton, copied to Mr. Phillips and Mr. Valitutti, who was acting for the remaining defendants, which stated in part:

As you know, my client (as well as Mr. Phillips’ client) entered into a settlement agreement with the plaintiff. To that end, the plaintiff has executed a release in favour of my client. Attached is a copy of same. The only remaining item to complete the settlement is for the plaintiff to deliver a Notice of Discontinuance. Despite repeated requests to the plaintiff’s previous counsel, the Notice of Discontinuance has not been forthcoming.

[25] Mr. Skolnik concluded by advising Mr. Morton that if his client was forced to remain in the action beyond that week, he would move for an order enforcing the settlement and seek costs for doing so. [Emphasis added]

[26] A few minutes later at 5:28 p.m., on the same evening Mr. Morton responded to Mr. Skolnik’s e-mail, stating:

This day I dictated letters which will resolve all these concerns; specifically, I agree to either a discontinuance from my office or consent to an order dismissing the action.

[27] The letters Mr. Morton was referring must be the letter dated April 9, 2012 faxed to the attention of Mr. Skolnik and Mr. Phillips which states, in part, as follows:

From discussions and materials provided by Mr. Skolnik, it appears that releases were delivered to your respective clients, but the action was not dismissed or discontinued as against them. I have sought and received instructions to discontinue the action as against both of your clients. It is my understanding that this discontinuance is what was agreed upon. The purpose of my letter is to confirm that this understanding is correct; should either or both of you wish to obtain an order (without costs) dismissing the action as against your clients, I would be content to be in a position to sign the appropriate consents. [Emphasis added]

[28] This letter is the strongest evidence that the plaintiff’s position that she did not instruct Mr. Morton to send the Notice of Discontinue is false. Although Mr. Morton appears to have been of the view that releasing the lawyers was a mistake on the Friday, two days later he dictated the letter confirming his instructions to discontinue the action or, if preferred, consent to an order dismissing the action, both without costs.

[29] By e-mail dated April 10, 2012, Mr. Skolnik confirmed that he and Mr. Phillips were content to receive Mr. Morton’s Notice of Discontinuance on a without-costs basis. Mr. Morton responded by an e-mail to Mr. Skolnik and Mr. Phillips which was copied to a “Jennifer Packwood, ” I presume someone at his firm, asking that she prepare “same to serve and file”.

[30] By letter dated May 7, 2012, sent by fax to Messrs. Skolnik and Phillips and counsel for the other defendants, Mr. Morton enclosed a Notice of Discontinuance, which he served pursuant to the Rules of Civil Procedure, R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 194. There is no dispute that this document was then filed with the court, as it is referred to in subsequent court endorsements.

[31] Mr. Morton obtained an order removing his firm as solicitors for the plaintiff in August 2012. The plaintiff alleges that at a later assessment of his accounts, Mr. Morton apologized for delivering the Notice of Discontinuance. Presuming this is correct for the purpose of this motion, it is clear that by August 2012 the plaintiff knew that both the Releases and the Notice of Discontinuance had been sent to counsel for Mr. Doshi and Mr. Kesavan.

[32] The plaintiff was now self-represented. She took no immediate action to deal with the alleged mistakes of her two former lawyers.

[33] On June 4, 2013, the Registrar dismissed this action for delay. It was only then; almost a year after the plaintiff knew of the mistakes that she now alleges, that she prepared a Notice of Motion dated July 16, 2013 asking to reinstate the action. No relief was sought with respect to Mr. Doshi or Mr. Kesavan although in the grounds for the motion she stated her position that she had not instructed Mr. Morton to serve a Notice of Discontinuance.

[34] Master Glustein (as he then was) heard this motion six months later on January 7, 2014. He stated in his endorsement that the plaintiff’s position was that the discontinuance and releases against the lawyer defendants were effected contrary to her instructions. He noted that there was no existing claim against these two defendants and that the Master did not have jurisdiction to make a declaration as to whether a discontinuance or release was valid. As a result he made no order as against these defendants. He did, however, order the plaintiff to deliver an Affidavit of Documents within 60 days.

[35] In October 2014, the plaintiff attempted to bring a motion for 24 different orders including a request for punitive and exemplary costs and damages. There does not appear to be any claim dealing with the Releases. There may be relief sought with respect to the Notice of Discontinuance in issue on this motion although the plaintiff referred to a Notice of Discontinuance order given by Master Dash on May 10, 2012 that was obtained by Mr. Morton using improper invalid documents to mislead the court.” I am not aware of any order by Master Dash.

[36] On December 16, 2014, the plaintiff was still self-represented. She attended before Justice Himel in order to schedule this motion. Mr. Gaudreau as counsel for Mr. Kesavan attended the hearing. The scheduling of the plaintiff’s motion was adjourned to February 3, 2015. The plaintiff must have retained Mr. Robinson and Ms. Byers shortly thereafter. By letter dated February 3, 2015, Mr. Robinson confirmed that the motion scheduling date had been cancelled. The motion before me was not brought until February 1, 2016, another significant delay.

[37] I am advised that the plaintiff did prepare an Affidavit of Documents but no other defendants still in the action, nor Mr. Doshi or Mr. Kesavan, have done so. In other words, at most it can be said that since this action was commenced six years ago, the action is still at the pleadings stage.

Analysis

Merits of the motion

[38] Based on these uncontested facts and ignoring the impugned hearsay evidence, and having considered the submissions of counsel and the relevant case law, I have reached a number of conclusions as follows:

a) Although there is no evidence that I can rely upon of a formal offer and a formal acceptance, it is clear from the delivery of the Releases and the Notice of Discontinuance filed that there was a settlement agreement communicated between counsel that the plaintiff’s action against her former lawyers Mr. Doshi and Mr. Kesavan was to be discontinued without costs in exchange for the plaintiff and her husband signing the Releases;

b) Even accepting for the purpose of this motion that the plaintiff’s evidence that her two former counsel acted in error or disregarded her instructions, both Mr. Goswami and Mr. Morton had ostensible authority that counsel for the lawyer defendants could rely upon to complete the settlement agreement by providing all of the documentation required to their counsel;

c) Although I have discretion to not enforce the settlement agreement this is not a case where I should exercise that discretion.

[39] My reasons for coming to these conclusions are as follows.

[40] Ms. Byers submitted that there is no evidence of a settlement agreement because there is no evidence of negotiations between counsel leading to an offer to settle and an acceptance of that offer. As I have already stated, for the purpose of this motion I have not relied on the hearsay statements in the correspondence that states that such discussions in fact took place. This would be fatal in most motions to enforce a settlement agreement because the court would not be able to determine the terms of the agreement. That is not the case here.

[41] A settlement agreement is a contract and is subject to the general law of contract. As such there must be an intention to create a contract and agreement on all essential terms; Olivieri v. Sherman, 2007 ONCA 491 (CanLII), at para. 41.

[42] In this case even though there is no formal offer or acceptance in writing, there could be no doubt about the terms of the settlement agreement reached between counsel for the plaintiff and counsel for the lawyer defendants in that all of the terms of the settlement have been completed. This is not a case where a party is attempting to resile from a settlement where the court has to determine whether or not all of the essential terms were agreed upon. The plaintiff and her husband executed the Releases provided by counsel for these defendants without any modification and Mr. Goswami delivered those Releases to the lawyer defendants’ counsel. Mr. Morton then confirmed that a Notice of Discontinuance or consent dismissal would be without costs and served and filed a Notice of Discontinuance. There could be no clearer form of acceptance of the offers from the defendants to agree to a discontinuance of the actions without costs provided the plaintiff and her husband signed the standard LawPro Release. No costs were ever sought by these defendants after the Notice of Discontinuance was filed.

[43] In my view the delivery of the Releases and the Notice of Discontinuance to counsel for the lawyer defendants was as good as, if not better than, formal acceptance of the offer by a letter from counsel for the plaintiff advising that the plaintiff agreed to the terms of their offer namely that she was prepared to sign the standard LawPro release in exchange for the lawyer defendants consenting to a discontinuance of the action against them without insisting on their costs.

[44] There is no suggestion that counsel for the plaintiff sent these documents to counsel for the lawyer defendants inadvertently. Rather it is alleged that they either misunderstood or failed to follow the plaintiff’s instructions. As for the absence of evidence of negotiations, that is not relevant. The length of time parties negotiate an agreement is irrelevant to the question of whether or not a binding agreement was reached.

[45] On the issue of ostensible authority, Ms. Byers argued that Mr. Phillips and Mr. Skolnik could not have reasonably believed that Mr. Goswami and Mr. Morton had authority to provide the documents in issue. With respect to Mr. Goswami, the plaintiff relies on what Ms. Byers submitted were “red flags”; the fact that Mr. Goswami did not deliver the Releases until seven months later and only then after advising defence counsel that he was going to remove himself from the record. She submitted as well that this was possibly because of a breakdown in the solicitor-client relationship but she conceded that counsel for the lawyer defendants were not told what the reason was.

[46] In my view these facts do not undermine the well established principle of law that a lawyer has ostensible authority to effect a binding settlement on behalf of his client and unless the opposing side has knowledge of some limitation on the lawyer’s retainer, any settlement made by the lawyer will be binding on the client, regardless of any dispute between the lawyer and his own client as to the scope of the lawyer’s instructions; see Srajeldin v. Ramsumeer, 2015 ONSC 6697 (CanLII), 2015 ONSC 6697 (Div. Ct.) at para. 21, citing Scherer v. Paletta, 1966 CanLII 286 (ON CA), [1966] 2 O.R. 524 (Ont. C.A.), see also Sahota v. Sahota, 2016 ONSC 314 (CanLII), 2016 ONSC 314 (Div. Ct.) at para. 15.

[47] In my view the fact that Mr. Goswami advised counsel that he was going to move to get off the record does not change the fact that he had ostensible authority to provide counsel with the signed releases that had been signed by the plaintiff and her husband many months earlier. Mr. Goswami was still on the record and counsel for the lawyer defendants had no way of knowing why he was getting off the record. As for the delay, Mr. Goswami did not provide any explanation and in particular did not suggest it had to do with any change in instructions. The Releases were properly signed and witnessed and in the form sent by counsel for the lawyer defendants to Mr. Goswami.

[48] As for Mr. Morton, although it was not necessary for him to state that he had instructions from the plaintiff (see Srajeldin at para. 27), he did so. Ms. Byers did not make any submission that Mr. Morton did not have ostensible authority when he sent the Notice of Discontinuance to counsel for the lawyer defendants except that counsel should have realized that he had not had enough time to get instructions from the plaintiff since it was the weekend. That is not a submission that has any merit in my view.

[49] Ms. Byers submitted that the case at bar differs from the facts in Srajeldin because there were a lot of negotiations in that case and evidence of a clear an unambiguous offer and acceptance. I have already dealt with this issue. In my view the case at bar is on all fours with Srajeldin as Justice Molloy refused to set aside the settlement even accepting for the purpose of the motion that the lawyer for the plaintiff was acting without instructions; at para. 24.

[50] As for the argument that the Notice of Discontinuance is a nullity in that it was not validly served and filed because not all counsel consented, it was copied to Mr. Valitutti who was acting for the remaining defendants and he made no objection, which is consistent with the fact that his clients had not asserted any cross-claim against the lawyer defendants. Furthermore, the Notice of Discontinuance was filed and accepted by the court. The cases relied upon by the plaintiff are all cases where a Notice of Discontinuance was inadvertently filed. There is no evidence that this is the case here. As already stated Mr. Morton’s intention was obvious and deliberate. Furthermore, there is Rule 1.04(1) which provides that the Rules are to be liberally construed. I find that any technical breach of the Rules was just that; technical. The Notice of Discontinuance is valid.

[51] The question remaining then is whether or not I should exercise my discretion to set aside the Notice of Discontinuance and the signed Releases. In that regard, Justice Molloy succinctly summarized the law in Srajeldin starting at para. 33 where she reviewed the factors to be considered set out in Milios v. Zagas (1998), 1998 CanLII 7119 (ON CA), 38 O.R. (3d) 218 (Ont. C.A.).

[52] Considering the ten questions from Milios, identified by Molloy J., I conclude as follows. With respect to the first three questions, there is no evidence that the settlement is unconscionable or improvident. In fact the plaintiff admits that Mr. Goswami recommended that she not continue her action against the lawyers and they did not seek costs from the plaintiff at the time of the discontinuance, which they would otherwise have been entitled to. There is no evidence of unequal bargaining power in that all parties were represented by counsel at the relevant time. There is no evidence of any party acting in bad faith.

[53] The fourth question asks whether or not counsel acted without authority, which is a factor in favour of not enforcing the settlement. I have accepted that as a fact for the purpose of this motion but I must say that I find the plaintiff’s position that not one but two, litigation counsel either ignored her instructions or where somehow mistaken about her instructions difficult to believe. I would not be surprised if Mr. Goswami and Mr. Morton take a very different position. I note that in each case they responded to letters from counsel for the lawyer defendants threatening to enforce the settlement agreement and seek costs against the plaintiff. In any event, if the plaintiff’s position is correct she has a remedy against her former counsel for any losses suffered. Furthermore, confirming the settlement agreement does not prevent the plaintiff from seeking leave to examine the defendant lawyers in this action to obtain any relevant evidence they might have.

[54] Returning to the questions, the terms of the settlement agreement are clear in that they have been completed. The agreement encompasses all of the issues in dispute since Full and Final Releases were provided in favour of the lawyer defendants. The settlement was not negotiated with the parties physically in each other’s presence but as Justice Molloy observed in Srajeldin at para. 39, this is an irrelevant consideration in this case, which is not a family law case.

[55] With respect to the final three questions, it is now five years since the settlement agreement was reached and eight years since the events underlying the claim took place. As I have set out in the chronology, once Mr. Morton was off the record the plaintiff took no immediate action to deal with the alleged mistakes of her two former lawyers. In fact she did not do anything until almost a year later when the Registrar dismissed her action for delay in June 2013. Although I accept that as a self-represented litigant it is significant that she made no attempt to deal with this issue for many months.

[56] Once the plaintiff decided to take action I accept that she may have not known how to proceed, evident by the fact no relief was sought with respect to Mr. Doshi or Mr. Kesavan before Master Glustein (as he then was). She did state in the grounds for the motion that she prepared in June 2013 that she had not instructed Mr. Morton to serve a Notice of Discontinuance. However, the fact that the plaintiff delayed almost a year before taking this step is a factor in favour or not setting aside the settlement.

[57] Ordinarily the fact that this action is still at the pleadings stage might be a factor in favour of not enforcing a settlement. However, in this case it demonstrates the lack of commitment the plaintiff has to this action. It has been six years since the action was commenced. Furthermore, since her alternative is to claim any alleged losses from her former lawyers the fact she had not advanced this action beyond the pleadings stage means little to no prejudice in that regard, see Srajeldin at para. 41.

[58] I come then to the final question which is whether or not the lawyer defendants will suffer a disadvantage or other prejudice if the settlement is set aside. Ms. Byers submitted that apart from losing the benefit of the impugned settlement the defendants will not be prejudiced if the settlement is not enforced as they will still have an opportunity to defend the action. It is true that the lawyer defendants have not provided any evidence of any actual prejudice. However, in my view prejudice can be inferred from the sheer delay. Although I realize that the lawyer defendants will still have their files, to the extent the allegations of the plaintiff depend on their memory, and the memory of other witnesses, they will necessarily have been prejudiced in that memories fade over time. They settled the action in good faith five years ago and reasonably believed that this matter was closed four years ago. They were entitled to rely on the settlement. To require them to defend the action again means that they will lose the benefit of the settlement that they reasonably believed was reached years ago.

[59] Ms. Byers submitted that if I do not set aside the Releases and Notice of Discontinuance in this case I will be sending a “chilling message to the public and could well discourage open and candid settlement discussions and considerations”. In my view the opposite is true. Anecdotally it can be said that at least if not more of 95% of all civil actions settle at some point before trial. If in these circumstances the court were to set aside a settlement agreement, negotiating the settlement of claims would be discouraged as lawyers could not have any confidence that a settlement agreement reached with opposing counsel would not be interfered with by the court.

[60] As Justice Molloy noted in Srajeldin at para. 41, the public policy concerns are pressing;

Setting aside a settlement in circumstances where it was freely negotiated between two professionals would be highly unusual. To do so where there is no evidence of sharp practice or bad faith, no unequal bargaining power, and no suggestion that the settlement is unfair or improvident, is, in my view, unprecedented. There only injustice to the plaintiff is that she must now litigate her claim against her former solicitor rather than the TTC. Given the very early stage of the litigation against the TTC, there is little to no prejudice in that regard.

[61] In my view this is not a case where I should exercise my discretion to set aside the settlement.

[62] For these reasons the motion for an order declaring that two Full and Final Releases signed on July 28, 2011 in favour of the defendants, Sanjaykumar Doshi and Thangavel Kesavan are invalid and of no force and effect and an order declaring that the Notice of Discontinuance, dated May 7, 2012, as against Mr. Doshi and Mr. Kesavan is invalid and of no effect and that it be set aside is dismissed with costs payable to Messrs. Doshi and Kesavan on a partial indemnity basis.

[63] With respect to costs, all counsel provided Cost Outlines to me at the conclusion of the hearing of the motion. The plaintiff’s Cost Outline totals $13, 368 for fees and disbursements on a partial indemnity basis. It reflects a lot of duplication between Mr. Robinson, a 2008 call and Ms. Byers a 2015 call; it was not necessary in my view for two counsel to prepare and argue this motion.

Costs

[64] Although the plaintiff is not entitled to costs, having lost this motion, this Cost Outline is relevant to the expectations of the parties. Although I appreciate that counsel for the plaintiff had to do more work to put the Motion Record together, once that was done the time spent preparing the factum and argument should have been comparable to the Cost Outline of Mr. Phillips who took the lead on the defence of the motion since the interests and position of Mr. Kesavan and Mr. Doshi is the same.

[65] Despite the amount claimed by counsel for the plaintiffs, Mr. Robinson submitted that the costs claimed by Mr. Phillips and Mr. Skolnik were too high because they did not have to file much in the way of a responding Motion Record and as counsel for LawPro they are used to these types of motions. I do not accept those submissions.

[66] Mr. Phillips claims costs on a partial indemnity in the amount of $4, 518.63 for fees and disbursements. He is a 2000 call and his hourly rate on a partial indemnity basis is $250 (as compared to Mr. Robinson, a 2009 call at $250). Mr. Phillips did all the work himself save for one hour spent by a law clerk. His time for preparing a Responding Motion Record, factum, Book of Authorities and for preparation and attendance totaled 16.7 hours. As compared to the 53 hours of time spent by counsel for the plaintiff, I find that his request for costs is entirely reasonable.

[67] As for Mr. Skolnik, a 1996 call, his Cost Outline totals $2, 016.70 on a partial indemnity basis. His hourly rate on this basis is a very reasonable $195. His time totaled 7.2 hours (although only one hour for the attendance which took two hours) and he did all of the work save for .6 of an hour by a law clerk. Mr. Skolnik did prepare a brief affidavit but did not prepare a factum. I accept that he needed to review all of the materials prepared by counsel for the plaintiff and Mr. Kesavan. As compared to the hours claimed by Mr. Phillips, Mr. Skolnik’s time does seem a little high. I fix the costs of Mr. Skolnik for fees and disbursements in the amount of $1, 800.

Its a set-up, with the help of both side lawyers, Lawyer Doshi and Lawyer Kesavan escaped from justice in Canada. They easily got this order. RCMP/OPP/SIU and the Financial Crime Unit must investigate these lawyers and their partners who are famous fraudsters/scammers/criminals in Canada and help the innocent to get justice in Canada. Yes, these people have supporters everywhere and they only helping them to escape from justice in Canada.

Please Don't Trust him or his Financial Institution ".Metro Zen " he cheated so many people, I know he cheated his best friend who helped him in so many ways and lends more than $750, 000 to run an education centre. Poor man, he trusted him a lot and when he needed money, he lent to run his business. But Mr Panneershelvan is an ungrateful man, he never paid back his loans and without his knowledge, he sold the property for a $1, 000, 000 and cheated him with the help of some lawyers and Home Trust. This man used fake documents, I.D's to transfer the money to his lawyer's Trust and cheated his friend and wife. Poor man, he lost more than 1 Million Dollars including interest and legal fees. This man Shelvan and his friend Tom Thiru, cheated so many people by lending less amount of 2nd or 3rd Mortgages on the property and tricked them using fake documents and I.D's and with the help of their lawyer team, easily they will get the default Judgements from the wrong courts. Recently, I heard from one of his community lawyers, that Shelvan and his team cheated this innocent man and got a favourable Judgement against him and put him on the road, also heard that both Shelvan and his partner Tom Thiru cheated so many people fraudulently by grabbed these innocents property and sold for market value and put them on road. I don't know how they are escaping from Justice. Even now Shelvan is trying to start new businesses to trick the innocent and steal money from them saying that they are going give away high-interest returns when they invest in their Incorporated Financial Institutions. I recently searched and found that Shelvan's Incorporation named as "Metro Zens" licence was suspended /revoked by Financial Services Commission in Jan.2016. But I am really wondering how he got a licence from Federal Government, and its so...suspicious even he was already under the Investigation/Examination of Provincial Government, how he got a Licence from Federal Government. Even I checked for his Partner Tom.Thiru, he is also holding numerous unlicensed Incorporations/V.K.T Fincial Concept Inc / V.K.T.Wealth Management, and some other Financial Institutions and running Mortgage Lending Business using mail box.. As Office address. So Many lawyers are supporting these people for their Fraudulent Activities . Even though I noticed Shelvan's partner Tom.Thiru posted his Liberal Support with the M.P. Of Ajax Hon. Mark Holland. I am being to know that these two people cheating the public by showing photos taken with politicians, and blasting their support of politicians... What a shame ...! I heard that Tom Thiru is a Conservative member and strong supporter, earlier he wagged his tail with Conservative... and cheated his own community and now he is trying to show the community that he is a .real supporter of Liberals. I noticed through the Complaints board he already mentioned about his ability of financial advice/planning. I suspect, how these people and the financial brokers are escaping from the Law and Justice. I found with the Law Society of Upper Canada that 2/3 lawyers who supported these two crooks were already suspended and 1/2 lawyers licences were revoked. My best advice is beware of these two Financial Investors and stay away from them, please. Shelvan's friend is crying for Justice and spending money on legal fees. He lost his hard earned money, health and working day and night to seek a favourable Judgement to recover his money from Shelvan and his Partner Tom.Thiru.

The Financial Services Commission of Ontario (FSCO) has issued a warning to consumers and industry professionals about an unlicensed mortgage brokerage that is soliciting the public to invest in a condo project in Toronto.

“MetroZen (Canada), a real estate development company that works alongside Zen Mortgage Corp., is not licensed to solicit mortgage business, ” an official statement from FSCO reads. “FSCO has been notified that the company is soliciting the public on its website, metrozen.ca, to invest in a large-scale condo project called MetroZen located at Highway 401 and Markham Road.”

FSCO has also warned that the two individuals involved with company – President Ralph Idema and Business Development Manager Cathy Yan – are also unlicensed by the commission.

Zen Mortgage Corp. claims to endeavor to construct socially and economically responsible projects through (unlicensed) syndicate investment.

“We are driven to revitalizing neglected properties within our rapidly-growing cities and seek out hidden jewels in prime locations, ” the company’s website states. “With some tender love and care, we re-develop them into imaginative, affordable and environmentally-sound homes that offer an exclusive lifestyle and ultimately upgrade the surrounding community.”

This man is a scam artist. I know of many cases where he has lured people into business schemes and taken all their money and found a way to get himself out of the loop so he cannot be punished for his crimes. Do not trust this man with your money, I repeat do not do business with this man, he is very unethical and will screw you over at any chance he gets. Anyone else who has been tricked by this man needs to come forward, we need to put this all over the media to stop this criminal.

The legal system needs to step up and stop individuals like this from pursuing businesses and continuing to scam people. I heard about the story about the family who was frauded by Shelvan Kannuthurai. He frauded that poor mans family and now he is working over 50 hours a week to pay back debt. Shelvan on the other hand is acting as if nothing happend and he is "running" yet another business.

The family went to court to sue a lawyer named Sanjay Kumar Doshi. This lawyer was the one who filed the discharge on the innocent family's mortgage. The family did not get judgement in their favour so they are now appealing the matter. The judge even states in the judgement that Shelvan generated money from the discharge. All the information is on Canlii.

This guy should not be the CEO of any company. He deserves to be behind bars. He needs to learn to work for his money instead of taking it from hard working people.
