Eaton v HMS Financial Inc., 2010 ABQB 635
| Alberta Court of King's Bench
The plaintiffs assert the claims against CIBC remain "knowing receipt" and "knowing assistance" in a fraud committed by some of all of the HMS defendants. "Knowing receipt" is also known as participation. Defendant CIBC applied for summary judgment to dismiss the action against CIBC. The court dismissed CIBC's application for summary judgement as to knowing assistance but granted as to knowing receipt.
