Debt Aid Consulting Inc. v Financial Rescue LLC

In the case of Debt Aid Consulting Inc. v Financial Rescue LLC, competing debt relief marketing companies faced off over the right to provide marketing services in Canada. The Plaintiff claimed that the Defendant was operating contrary to the Collection and Debt Settlement Services Act, the Business Names Act, and the Competition Act. The Defendant maintained that none of the services it offered as a marketing agency and referral service breached any of those statutes. Moreover, the Defendant’s position was that the Plaintiff failed to produce any evidence of tortious interference with the Plaintiff’s business.

The issues for trial were; firstly liability, in particular, whether the Defendant was in breach of the statues; and secondly, whether the Plaintiff demonstrated that it should be entitled to damages as a result of the Defendant allegedly competing unfairly in Ontario for the same target audience.

The Court held that the Plaintiff failed to prove that the Defendant was liable of breaching any statute or committing intentional interference with the business relations of the Plaintiff. After a summary trial, the action was dismissed.
