From the article,

>the Superior Court cancelled that mortgage in a 2017 decision, which was appealed by Michel Primeau, who beat Hooper in the game of rock paper scissors — and won the $517,000 wager.

Seems like the court itself decided to cancel the mortgage and the winner was the one who decided to appeal it in court.

How did the Superior Court become aware of it? I doubt they routinely study home mortgages...

>This gambling debt had even been recognized in a notarized contract and had led to the registration of a mortgage on the house of the loser, Edmund Mark Hooper.

>The mortgage was canceled by a judgment rendered by a Quebec Superior Court judge in 2017.

Because it was on a notorized contract. The guy that won is a huge asshole honestly.
