What is the test for setting off a set off?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Rathwell-Howland v Howland., 2020 ONSC 390 (CanLII):

For there to be such a set off, there must be a mutuality of debts between the parties: Guergis v. Hamilton, 2016 ONSC 4428 at para. 8. No such mutuality of debts exists in the case before me.
