Reasons for Judgment — Abella J. (Moldaver, Karakatsanis, Wagner, Gascon, Côté and Rowe JJ. concurring)

Abella J. — A majority would dismiss the appeal substantially for the reasons of the Court of Appeal. Justice Côté, dissenting, would have ordered a new trial on the basis that the finding of collusion was unreasonable and tainted the other findings of the trial judge.
