What is the basis for seeking reimbursement for Iver's purchase price?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Kulcsar v. Sadykow, 2019 BCCRT 1138 (CanLII):
21. I infer that the applicant has a second basis for seeking reimbursement for Iver’s purchase price. The applicant says that the respondent should face justice and be held accountable for her behaviour. Although he did not characterize the claim as such, the applicant is seeking punitive damages. While the tribunal does have the jurisdiction to award punitive damages, this type of remedy is reserved for conduct that is malicious and high-handed: see Benda v. Cao et al, 2018 BCCRT 323.
