This was an action against the Defendant for breach of contract and negligence in relation to dredging of the Liverpool Harbour and construction of a containment facility. The Defendant in turn brought Third Party proceedings against subcontractors. The Third Parties brought this application to strike out the Third Party proceedings on the grounds that they were governed by Canadian Maritime Law which did not recognize a claim for contribution and indemnity. The Court refused to strike out the proceedings holding, first, that it was not clear the matter was entirely governed by Canadian Maritime Law and, secondly, that it was arguable whether there was a right to contribution and indemnity under Canadian Maritime Law.
