Thanks for support of some you here.
First, nbates you made a decision based on transparent information. I, on the other hand, was supposedly mischarged over a 44 day period. My situation is the inverse of having an accidental deposit in my account: the broker's account got an accidental credit from me.
You see, in Canada we have a law that whenever there is ambiguity in price, the customer gets the benefit of the doubt. For example, if there are two price tags on a product, the consumer has the right to demand the lower price on the tags.
Additionaly, here is a section from Canada's Securties Act:
Confirmation of trade
36. (1) Every registered dealer who has acted as principal or agent in connection with any trade in a security shall promptly send by prepaid mail or deliver to the customer a written confirmation of the transaction, setting forth,
(a) the quantity and description of the security;
(b) the consideration;
(c) whether or not the registered dealer is acting as principal or agent;
(d) if acting as agent in a trade, the name of the person or company from or to or through whom the security was bought or sold;
(e) the date and the name of the stock exchange, if any, upon which the transaction took place;
(f) the commission, if any, charged in respect of the trade; and
(g) the name of the salesperson, if any, in the transaction. R.S.O. 1990, c. S.5, s. 36 (1).
