The situation
An insurance company client engaged Precision Paralegal Services to assist with a vehicle repair lien dispute involving an Ontario repair shop.
Our approach
Our team prepared and coordinated the filing and service of documents under the Repair and Storage Liens Act. After the final certificate was served, we advised the client that it could arrange to retrieve the vehicle.
When the repair shop did not bring an action within the applicable deadline, Precision Paralegal Services brought a motion for the return of funds paid into court. The court granted the motion.
Our team then coordinated the certified court order and supporting documents required to obtain the funds, followed up on their release, and arranged delivery of the cheque to the client.
The outcome
The court ordered the release of funds held in connection with the repair lien dispute, and the cheque was delivered to the client.
What this case illustrates
Obtaining an order for the return of court-held funds is one step in the process. Completing the required paperwork and following through with the court’s accounting office helps bring the matter to a practical conclusion.
