Consolidated Financial Statements year ended 2012
7. Contingencies and Commitments
(i) The Company and certain former Directors of the Company were originally sued by a distributor Paul Bearance ("Bearance") and his company Synergic Distribution Inc. ("Synergic") in a Small Claims Court action in Ontario, pertaining to the sale of a Jetstar™ hydrogen generator. The Small Claims Court action was ultimately dismissed administratively as a result of Bearance's failure to comply with two court orders that directed him to particularize the pleadings of fraudulent misrepresentation and to serve all documents on which he intended to rely to defendants' counsel by a stipulated date. Before the order of dismissal was made, the Company and the same individuals who had been named as defendants in the Small Claims Court action commenced a separate action as plaintiffs in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice for defamation and intentional interference with economic interests. Among other things, the plaintiffs claim:
a) general and aggravated damages for defamation in the amount of $1,000,000;
b) general and aggravated damages for wrongful interference with economic relations in the amount of $1,000,000;
c) general and aggravated damages for injuries falsehood in the amount of $1,000,000; and
d) aggravated, punitive and exemplary damages in the amount of $500,000.
The claim is based, at least in part, on Bearance's admission in the Small Claims Court proceeding that he had contacted third parties and encouraged them not to do business with the Company and its directors. Bearance and Synergic have defended the action by way of a defence and counterclaim wherein they seek, among other things:
a) general damages for fraudulent or negligent misrepresentation in the amount of $195,000;
b) ages for breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duties in the amount of $150,000;
c) aggravated and punitive damages for $2,000,000
