Marriott and Dunn: Practice in Mortgage Remedies in Ontario, Fifth Edition provides the most comprehensive step-by-step review of the procedures governing foreclosure, judicial sale, and power of sale in Ontario. The foreclosure, judicial sale, and redemption process, as it is governed by Rule 64 of the Rules of Civil Procedure and three centuries of common law, are methodically reviewed from the preliminary matters, compliance with notice requirements, the identification of proper parties, pleadings, defences, default, and summary foreclosure proceedings, redemption and/or sale rights, and the document registration procedure under electronic registration. The reference process itself is methodically reviewed from the first appointment to the referee's report. This includes adding parties, proving claims, taking accounts, determining priorities, fixing the redemption period, granting final orders of foreclosure, and final orders for sale.
The judicial sale procedures after the judgment or final order for sale, including appraisal requirements, conditions of sale, the methods of conducting a judicial sale, including abortive sales, interim sale practice, and the final accounting procedure are covered extensively.
