The parties did not agree that they could not agree to turn a contract into a regulated agreement, or to occupy the court responsible for the exercise of powers, for example in the field of enforcement. All unsecured loans above the CCA threshold of $US 25,000 were unregulated agreements on which the CCA did not adhere. However, between 1999 and March 2008, the applicant used the same documents for all credit contracts entered into, whether regulated or unregulated. This meant that unregulated agreements were documented (and treated) as if they were regulated by the CCA. In addition, the Tribunal found that there was a common acceptance between the parties, which could justify an agreement by agreement and/or a contractual Estoppel, so that the defendants would be provided, as far as possible, with the protection conferred by the legislation and the rights conferred by the legislation. These included post-amendments (in fact, s77A had not been implemented at the time of these agreements), as any other interpretation was illogical when it was known that legislation would often change. The applicant breached his obligations under the reporting agreements that did not correspond to s77A and the non-repayment or repayment of interest or arrears paid during periods of non-compliance. The defendants had benefited from the rights and benefits of a regulated agreement (to the extent that they can be applied to an unregulated agreement) while the agreements were not regulated, either through the concept of initiation or involvement. With an unregulated agreement, you do not have the right to terminate the contract or get a discount on interest charges, even if some lenders may agree to a small amount of discounts or, as a general rule, a higher penalty for you to terminate. For those with complex financial situations, unregulated agreements can sometimes provide flexibility and security to the lender, which is necessary to enter into an agreement An agreement that offers a credit of $25,000 or more signed by April 6, 2008 (or $15,000 if signed before May 1, 1998) This is a useful decision for lenders with documents produced in the same way as NRAM. However, as with any question relating to the establishment of an ambiguous or potentially ambiguous contractual clause, it depends on the wording used and what a sensible person, with all the basic knowledge that the parties might have had, would have understood that he would have meant the use of the language contained in the treaty. Therefore, the decision cannot help all lenders in a similar situation.

However, the statements were insufficient. They did not meet the regulatory requirements of s77A because they did not indicate the amount of loans initially granted to borrowers with respect to regulated agreements.
