flag A Canadian court ruled a Toronto lender breached contract by halting a $60M 2019 construction loan, citing pandemic delays.

flag The British Columbia Court of Appeal has partially overturned a lower court ruling, finding a Toronto-based lender in breach of contract over a 2019 construction loan for a Richmond, BC, real estate project. flag The dispute began when a GECC subsidiary paid a $60 million deposit for office and residential towers, but funding was halted in March 2020 due to pandemic-related disruptions, leading to project delays and insolvency. flag The subsidiary wrote off the investment by 2022, and after a 2024 ruling against GECC, the appeal court reversed the decision, affirming the lender’s breach. flag GECC, which operates student housing and education services in Canada and internationally, welcomed the ruling as a key legal victory. flag Further developments are expected.
