Reported Cases
Areas of Law considered in this case: - Business Law - Misrepresentation - Purchase of Professional Practice - Enforcement of Restrictive Covenant - Trials - Civil Litigation
Kronick v. Lamarche-Craven, [1991] O.J. No. 907 (Gen. Div.)
My client, a dentist, bought a dental practice from an older dentist who told her that he was retiring from dental practice, and who had instructed that this phrase appear in the appraisal report of his dental practice. There was a non-competition clause in the Agreement to Purchase the Dental Practice. The older dentist stayed on in my client's practice, as an associate, and continued to treat his own patients.
After the three-year period specified in the non-competition clause had expired, the older dentist changed his mind about retiring and set up an office within the five-mile radius prohibited in the non-competition clause.
The trial judge believed that the older dentist had changed his mind about staying with my client's practice until retirement, as a result of professional differences of opinion between them. These differences were perhaps no more than generational differences, he found.
The older dentist sued my client for moneys allegedly owing. At trial this figure amounted to $1,222.64.
My client counterclaimed for damages for misuse and theft of confidential information, or alternatively for breach of fiduciary obligation. The older dentist had been seen giving his clients little white slips of paper as they left his examining room, just before he left my client's practice.
Sometimes commencing an action for an insignificant amount of money gets you a really complicated lawsuit in return. I always consider cross actions and counterclaims with clients when we discuss whether they should commence litigation.
