Question juridique clé
Whether the appellate court acted arbitrarily in finding that the loan was induced by the cheque and trust created by it.
Solution extraite
No. The cheque could reasonably reinforce the victim's trust and supported the causal link to the loan; the complaint was insufficiently reasoned and did not show arbitrariness.
Motifs extraits
The Federal Court held that the cheque normally creates confidence because it is expected to be covered. The challenge also impermissibly tried to review federal law questions under the guise of arbitrariness.
