Reported Cases
Areas of Law Considered in this case: - Residential Tenancies - Landlord and Tenant - Appeals - Statutory Interpretation - Administrative Law - Appeals - Residential Tenancies Act - Statutory Powers Procedures Act
Re Vance and Hardit Corp. et al., (1985) 53 O.R. (2d) 183; [1985] O.J. No. 1007 (H.C.J.) (Divl. Crt.)
I represented the Residential Tenancies Commission who became a party to this judicial review of three rulings involving a landlord and a residential tenant. The landlord had been granted the right, by three different appeal panels of the Residential Tenancies Commission, to increase the rents in each of three residential buildings. Sections 16 of the Statutory Powers Procedures Act, and s 105 of the Residential Tenancies Act were considered in this appeal mandated by statute.
In the first decision, the commissioner stated that he had made certain findings of fact based on the evidence presented, and as a result of his own investigations. The parties were not advised of the additional information, nor were they allowed to ask questions or make submissions relating to the additional information.
The Court properly held that the commission had erred in the manner in which it had treated the evidence of the commissioner's own investigation, and allowed the appeal.
Since the second and third decisions depended in part on the findings made in the first decision, all three decisions were sent back to the Commission for rehearing.
