Bill Clarke case continues

Published:Wednesday | January 21, 2009 | 5:03 PM

An application brought by retired President and Chief Executive Officer of Scotiabank William Bill Clarke to bar the bank from evicting him from the house to which he was assigned has been set for hearing on February 3 in the Supreme Court.



The matter was set for hearing today but it was not placed on the court list for this week.



When the parties came before Miss Justice Marjorie Cole-Smith today another date was set.



Clarke will remain in the house and be in possession of the two motor vehicles, which were assigned to him until his application is heard on February 3.



Clarke retired from the bank on November 1 and it was agreed that the issue of his retirement package would go to arbitration.



He’s contending that he received a letter from the head office in Canada that he is to leave the house and hand over the motorcars by July 31.



Clarke said in court documents that if the bank is not restrained he fears he will be evicted from the house.
