Can Midland sue for damages arising from Harbottle?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Midland Resources Holding Limited v. Shtaif, 2017 ONCA 320 (CanLII):

As discussed earlier in this judgment, the rule in Foss v. Harbottle was not an obstacle to the respondents’ claims. Midland therefore could sue to recover its direct loss.
