A Canadian court ruled a Toronto lender breached contract by halting a $60M 2019 construction loan, citing pandemic delays.
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.
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.
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.
GECC, which operates student housing and education services in Canada and internationally, welcomed the ruling as a key legal victory.
Further developments are expected.
