The City of Mississauga and Paramount Fine Foods are currently engaged in a significant legal dispute regarding the naming rights of the Mississauga Sports and Entertainment Centre, located at Matheson Boulevard East and Rose Cherry Place. The controversy erupted when the city decided to remove the ‘Paramount Fine Foods Centre’ name as of June 1, 2026, citing unpaid fees. This decision has led to a legal battle, as both parties have taken the matter to the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.
The city claims that Fakih Group Inc. and a numbered company, previously known as Paramount Franchise Inc. , owe $1. 6 million in unpaid fees under a 10-year naming rights agreement initiated on July 1, 2018. This contract was supposed to generate $450,000 annually, plus taxes. Despite attempts to renegotiate payment plans to accommodate financial strains, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, the city alleges that the companies failed to meet their obligations, leading to a breach of contract claim worth $9 million, including interest and legal costs.

Your Rights and Options
For businesses facing contractual disputes in Ontario, it’s crucial to understand the legal framework that governs such agreements. The Limitations Act, 2002 sets a two-year deadline for commencing legal action from the date of the alleged breach. This means it’s vital to act promptly if you suspect a breach has occurred. Additionally, ensuring that your contracts have clear terms regarding payment obligations, default provisions, and dispute resolution mechanisms can protect your interests.
If you’re dealing with a breach of contract, seeking legal advice can clarify your rights and options. Consider reaching out to experienced litigation lawyers to evaluate your situation and strategize your next steps.
