Ibrahim was the registered owner of several adjoining parcels of vacant land that he had purchased some 12 years earlier. During that period of time, the property had appreciated substantially in value. Recently, Ibrahim was approached by a real-estate agent who suggested that the property might be of interest to a number of developers who had just begun construction in the immediate area. After some discussion, Ibrahim entered into a listing agreement with the agent, and the agent agreed to seek out prospective purchasers for the property. Ibrahim established $200,000 as the selling price he would accept for the land. For several months, the agent attempted to find a buyer for the property, but without success. When the developers in the area were not interested in the property, the agent returned to Ibrahim and suggested that a corporation in which he had an interest might be willing to purchase the land. To this suggestion Ibrahim replied that it did not matter to him who the purchaser was, so long as the purchaser was prepared to pay his price for the land. A week later, the agent returned with an offer to purchase from the corporation in which he had an interest. The offer price was $200,000, and was described by the agent as a “clean deal — all cash.” The offer was prepared on a standard real-estate offer-to-purchase form and contained a clause that read: “Any severance or impost fee plus any expenses for water and sewer connections to be included in the purchase price.” Ibrahim queried the clause, and the agent explained that it meant that the cost of obtaining permission to use the three parcels of land as separate building lots, and the hook-up costs of water and sewer lines to them, would be deducted from the purchase price. He added that this “usually did not cost much.”

At the agent’s urging, Ibrahim signed the offer. Some weeks later, Ibrahim discovered to his sorrow that the severance fees and the water and sewer connections would cost close to 10 percent of the sale price. The municipality required the payment of 5 percent of the value of the property as part of the severance fee, and the water and sewer connections accounted for the remainder. When Ibrahim refused to proceed with the transaction, the purchaser instituted legal proceedings for specific performance, and Ibrahim, on the advice of his solicitor, settled the action. As a result, he received only $180,000 for the property, from which the real-estate agent demanded a selling commission of 5 percent based upon the $200,000 selling price. Ibrahim refused to pay the agent and demanded that the agent compensate him for the $20,000 loss that he had suffered. Eventually, the agent brought an action against Ibrahim for the commission that he claimed was due and owing. Ibrahim, in turn, filed a counterclaim for payment of the $20,000 loss that he had suffered. Question (19): Discuss the arguments that might be raised by the parties in this case. Render a decision.

CASE 12 A common complaint about leasing contracts is that the consumer lessee rarely understands the terms of the contract - how much is she really paying and what happens if she wishes to terminate the lease? According to one recent report, People sometimes confuse leasing with renting – when they don’t want the car anymore, they think they can just walk away from their monthly payments… in fact, they cannot, without incurring adjustment costs. During the term of the lease, circumstances may change. The lessee may lose her job and be unable to keep up the payments, or may move and find that the leased article is no longer suited to her needs. It is then that she discovers that she cannot just stop payments and return the article. In the majority of cases, the leased terms are quite fair – it is simply that the terms were never properly explained to the lessee. But in some cases, the terms that apply on early termination can be quite harsh. Some provincial consumer protection legislation (including that of Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, and Manitoba) specifically addresses the harshness of consumer leasing contracts through the following requirements and limitations:  a written disclosure statement showing the itemized costs of the lease, including the financed amount, interest rates and calculations, and implicit financing charges  caps on termination penalties equal to three months of average payments (British Columbia and Alberta cap this amount if the goods have been returned)  disclosure and restrictions on form and content of advertising (not in the B.C. statute) Question (18): Does capping the termination penalties unfairly penalize lessors? Why is leasing less popular with the auto industry since the 2008 economic crisis?

Sharon parked her automobile in a parking lot owned by the Parking Corporation. At the request of the parking lot attendant, she left her keys at the attendant's office and received a numbered ticket as her receipt for the payment of the parking fee. The ticket had the following words written on the back: “Rental of space only. Not responsible for loss or damage to car or contents however caused.” A 50 cm. Square sign on the side of the attendant’s office contained a similar message. Before leaving her keys with the attendant, she made certain that the doors of the vehicle were securely locked, as she had left a box containing her camcorder and computer in the trunk of the car. Sharon was not aware that the attendant closed his ticket booth at midnight, at which time he delivered the keys to the cars on the lot to the attendant of the parking lot across the street. The adjacent lot was also owned by the Corporation, but it remained open until 2 a.m. Sharon returned to the parking lot to retrieve her automobile shortly after midnight, at which time she discovered no attendant in charge, and her vehicle missing. By chance, she noticed an attendant on duty at the parking lot across the street, and reported the missing vehicle to him, only to find the attendant in possession of her keys. The police discovered Sharon’s automobile a few days later in another part of the city. The vehicle had been damaged and stripped of its contents, including her camcorder and computer. Sharon brought an action against the Parking Corporation for her loss.

Question : Identify the issues in this case and prepare the arguments that Sharon and the Parking Corporation might use in their respective claim and defence.
