Is an agreement articulated in Email #4 enforceable?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Salminen v. Garvie, 2011 BCSC 339 (CanLII):
However, on the second leg of the Lacroix v. Loewen test, I find that the agreement articulated in Email #4 was rendered unenforceable due to the ensuing events. The parties’ actions shortly following the conclusion of Email #4 must be construed as their terminating an otherwise enforceable contract.
