Reported Cases
Areas of Law considered in this case: - Residential Tenancies - Appeals - Landlord-Tenant - Statutory Interpretation - s. 117 of the Residential Tenancies Act - ss. 17 (c) and 46(2)(a) of the Judicature Act - Jurisdiction of the Divisional Court
Rank City Wall Canada Ltd. v. 6 Forest Laneway, Willowdale (Tenants of), [1982] O.J. No. 1227 (Divl. Crt.)
Here a group of tenants of a residential apartment complex appealed a decision under the Residential Tenancies Act to increase their rent by allowing a " whole building" review application by the landlord.
The tenants' appeal was filed in time, but was not perfected and so the Registrar of the Court, in accordance with his statutory power, dismissed the tenants' appeal as abandoned.
I represented the tenants in the second appeal before the Divisional Court appeal panel.
This case is significant because it established that no appeal lies to the Divisional Court from an order of a single judge of the Divisional Court dismissing an application to set aside a certificate of the registrar dismissing an appeal as abandoned.
The case was so significant that it was listed that year, and for subsequent years, in the leading text interpreting sections 17 (c) and 46(2)(a) of the Judicature Act and the Rules of Civil Procedure.
