Representative Cases:

Reid v. Abass, 2024 ONSC 7083
Ontario Superior Court of Justice

Successful defence of a summary judgment motion in a failed residential real estate transaction. The plaintiff vendors sought $149,000 in damages — the difference between the original $999,000 purchase price and the $850,000 at which the property later sold — after the purchase did not close on time. Acting for the defendants, Basil Khan argued that, read as a whole, the parties' July 2022 extension agreement released the purchaser from liability for the price difference provided he completed the transaction at the reduced amount, which he did. The Court agreed, dismissed the plaintiffs' motion, and granted summary judgment in favour of the defendants.

Dicenzo (Linden Park) Holdings Inc. v. Sadeghyar, 2026 ONSC 1566 — Landmark Decision
Ontario Superior Court of Justice | Reported in the Ontario Reports 180 O.R. (3d) Part 8, Pages 605-617, 6/26/2026 edition

A landmark ruling on consumer protection under the Condominium Act, 1998. Acting for the purchaser of a pre-construction condominium in Hamilton, Basil Khan successfully resisted a builder's application to forfeit a $121,098 deposit and recover more than $218,000 in damages after the purchase failed to close. The Court accepted the argument that the builder had never delivered the mandatory Residential Condominium Buyers' Guide required by s. 72(1)(b) of the Act, with the result that the agreement of purchase and sale was not binding on the purchaser. This was the first reported decision to consider the consequences of a builder's failure to provide the Guide — the Court confirmed that where the Guide is not delivered, the 10-day rescission period never begins to run and the purchaser may rescind at any time before taking title, notwithstanding a signed acknowledgment of receipt. The builder's application was dismissed, the purchaser's cross-application granted, and the deposit ordered returned with interest, plus $31,000 in costs. [Note: this matter is presently under appeal to the Court of Appeal for Ontario]
