13279987 Canada inc. (Planchers Universel Floors) c. Grumet 2013 QCCQ 11587 COURT OF QUEBEC Small Claims Division CANADA PROVINCE OF QUEBEC DISTRICT OF MONTREAL Civil Division No: 500-32-126544-107 DATE: September 18, 2013 ______________________________________________________________________ BY THE HONOURABLE SCOTT HUGHES, J.C.Q. ______________________________________________________________________ 13279987 CANADA INC. F.A.S.N. PLANCHERS UNIVERSEL FLOORS , 63 Guizot East, Montreal, QC H2P 1L9 Plaintiff v.
MYRON GRUMET , […], Côte-St-Luc, QC, […] and L81 CONSTRUCTION , 5505 Randall Avenue, Côte-St-Luc, QC, H4V 2V7 Defendants ______________________________________________________________________ JUDGMENT ON AN OPPOSITION TO SEIZURE IN EXECUTION (Article 597 C.C.P.) ______________________________________________________________________ [ 1 ] On May 6, 2013, Daniel Dortelus, j.c.q. condemned Myron Grumet and L81 Construction to pay the sum of $7,000 (plus interest and costs) to 13279987 Canada Inc. [ 2 ] On July 22, 2013, a seizure of moveables was executed at the head office of co-defendant L81 Construction.
This is also the home of the Grumet family. [ 3 ] The Court is seized of two (2) oppositions to this seizure; one by Mrs. Judy Edelman, the other by Mr Jesse Grumet. Both opposants alledge their right to revendicate the seized property seeing as it belongs to them. [ 4 ] The evidence shows that Myron Grumet left the family domicile in December 2012. He and Mrs. Edelman are presently involved in divorce proceedings. Mr. Grumet is in Costa Rica attempting to organize a new business. [ 5 ] The property claimed by Mrs. Edelman consists of the moveables' garnishing the family domicile.
She testifies that these moveables belong to her through inheritances, in particular from her deceased brother and purchases made by her personally over the years. Although she has no documentary evidence to corroborate this, her testimony is sufficient in the circumstances seeing that the seized property in many cases is more than ten (10) years old.
Section 2861 of the Civil Code of Quebec applies in these circumstances: 2861. Where a party has been unable, for a valid reason, to produce written proof of a juridical act, such
an act may be proved by any other means. [ 6 ] The other opposant, Jesse Grumet, is the 23-year-old son of Judy Edelman and Myron Grumet. He claims that the hockey equipment and other sporting equipment seized are his property. He received these items as gifts over the years and in other cases acquired them himself. He also concedes he has no documentary evidence. However, for the same reason as above, his testimony is sufficient. [ 7 ] 13279987 Canada Inc. has presented no evidence to contradict the testimony of the opposants.
Also, it has inscribed a legal hypothec against an immoveable property which it purports to be the undivided property of Myron Grumet and Judy Edelman. It is therefore not without recourse. FOR THESE REASONS, THE COURT: GRANTS both oppositions ; DECLARES Judy Edelman owner of the moveable property listed in Annex A, namely: ANNEX A shock vac 5.0 sur roulette couleur noir Belongs to Judy Beth Edelman Several cleaning and accessories products Belongs to Judy Beth Edelman
