Superior Court Dismisses Magic Palace Application for Interlocutory Injunction

The Superior Court of Quebec has dismissed an application for an interlocutory injunction brought by the owners of Magic Palace, who were seeking to reinstate the Royalty Agreement between the business and the Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke (MCK).

In its December 17, 2025 decision, the Court found that the Plaintiffs could not establish a serious issue to be tried regarding Council’s right to terminate the agreement. It also found that their allegation of abuse of right was ill founded, and that the balance of convenience swung in the MCK’s favor, upholding its decision to terminate the Royalty Agreement.

The Court determined that all evidence pointed towards the Royalty Agreement being violated when control of Magic Palace was handed to a non-local, Mr. Luftar Hysa. The Plaintiffs have since filed an application for leave to appeal the judgment, and it’s expected to be heard in the Court of Appeal on February 19th.

In a release, the MCK emphasized that Magic Palace and its owners are still seeking significant damages against the Council, as well as a declaratory judgement to reinstate the Royalty Agreement. As the case remains tied up in court, and no trial date has been set, the MCK says it will not provide further comment at this time.
