What is the effect of the most unusual wording in the minutes of a civil trial?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Lamadrid v. Silva, 1994 CanLII 3837 (ON CJ):
[15] As I have said, the most unusual wording of the minutes represents a case much different from the agreement considered by Justice Rutherford in Craig v. Craig and there is not sufficient certainty to sustain the total settlement. It represented an agreement only to come to an agreement at a later time and is unenforceable, except as to the interim-interim aspects dealt with.
