Does a summary judgment order invalidate and enforce a "agreement"?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Hillis v. Hillis, 2018 ONSC 3944 (CanLII):
The Respondent argues against summary judgment validating and enforcing the “agreement”. For this, she relies entirely on the ruling of my brother Quinn J. in Riss v. Greenough, [2003] CanLII 2224 (ONSC) at para. 32 that the “straightforward, uncomplicated requirement” of subrule 18(4) “is also mandatory. The lack of a signature by counsel is sufficient to invalidate the offer”.
