OAFRAATAgriculture, Food & Rural Affairs Appeal TribunalSep 7, 2012

Tribunal orders re-joinder of liability and damages phases for resumed hearing on remitted issues.

At a pre-hearing conference following a Divisional Court order remitting certain liability issues back to the Tribunal, the Tribunal determined procedural matters for the resumed hearing.

The Tribunal ordered that CNH would lead evidence first on the remitted liability issues, as they arose from CNH's appeal.

The Tribunal also ordered that the liability and damages phases of the hearing, which had previously been bifurcated, be re-joined to avoid unnecessary delay and prejudice, noting that the original reasons for bifurcation no longer existed.

Chesterman Farm Equipment Inc. (CFEI) v CNH Canada Ltd. (CNH), 2012 ONAFRAAT 26

OAFRAATAgriculture, Food & Rural Affairs Appeal TribunalMay 29, 2012

Tribunal lacks jurisdiction to award compensation or order return of items seized under POA warrant.

The Director requested a review of a previous Tribunal decision that ordered the return of seized livestock medicines and personal items to Ken Allan, or compensation if they were destroyed.

The Tribunal found that it lacked jurisdiction under the Livestock Medicines Act to award compensation, as its powers are limited to licensing decisions.

Furthermore, because the items were seized pursuant to a search warrant under the Provincial Offences Act, only a justice of the peace or provincial judge has the authority to order their return.

The Tribunal cancelled the previous orders.

Allan v The Director, 2012 ONAFRAAT 14

OAFRAATAgriculture, Food & Rural Affairs Appeal TribunalDec 22, 2011

Tribunal issued new procedural directions for a written review hearing after the responding party withdrew participation.

The Director requested a review of the Tribunal's prior decision.

Following unsuccessful attempts to develop an agreed statement of facts, the responding party withdrew from participating in the review hearing.

The Tribunal issued a new procedural order establishing a timetable for the delivery of affidavit evidence and written submissions for the written review hearing, while preserving the responding party's right to participate should he reconsider.

Ken Allan v. Director, 2011 ONAFRAAT 38

OAFRAATAgriculture, Food & Rural Affairs Appeal TribunalDec 14, 2011

Appellant ordered to pay $7,080.70 in costs for unreasonable failure to comply with procedural directions.

The City of Kawartha Lakes brought a motion to dismiss the appellant's appeal under the Drainage Act after the appellant failed to comply with procedural directions.

The Tribunal dismissed the motion but directed written submissions on costs.

The Tribunal found the appellant's failure to comply with the procedural directions to be unreasonable and ordered him to pay the City's costs of the motion in the amount of $7,080.70, to be credited to the drain account and added to the tax roll.

Alan Webster v. City of Kawartha Lakes, 2011 ONAFRAAT 37

OAFRAATAgriculture, Food & Rural Affairs Appeal TribunalNov 28, 2011

Motion to dismiss drainage appeal for late filing and being frivolous and vexatious dismissed.

The City of Kawartha Lakes brought a motion to dismiss Alan Webster's appeal under the Drainage Act for failing to comply with a procedural order and for being frivolous and vexatious.

The appellant filed his particulars 22 days late.

The Tribunal found that while the appellant's cavalier attitude toward the procedural order was worthy of censure, the appropriate remedy was costs rather than summary dismissal.

Applying the test for frivolous and vexatious proceedings, the Tribunal concluded by the slimmest of margins that the appeal was not obviously incapable of success or brought for an improper purpose.

The motion was dismissed, with costs reserved.

Alan Webster v. City of Kawartha Lakes, 2011 ONAFRAAT 36

OAFRAATAgriculture, Food & Rural Affairs Appeal TribunalNov 21, 2011

Tribunal denies motion for summary judgment, finding it lacks statutory authority to grant such relief.

The Director requested a pre-hearing conference to argue a motion for summary judgment to revoke two orders made in a previous Tribunal decision regarding the return of seized livestock medicines and personal items.

The Tribunal held that it does not have the statutory authority or inherent jurisdiction to grant summary judgment, as its Rules of Procedure do not contain a provision analogous to Rule 20 of the Rules of Civil Procedure.

The motion for summary judgment was denied, and the Tribunal issued procedural directions for the review hearing to proceed in writing.

Ken Allan v. Director, 2011 ONAFRAAT 35

OAFRAATAgriculture, Food & Rural Affairs Appeal TribunalNov 8, 2011

Appeal for historical chicken quota and regulatory exemption dismissed due to 46-year delay and lack of proof.

The appellant, a second-generation farmer, appealed a decision of the provincial chicken regulator denying his request for 2,040 units of chicken quota or an exemption from the quota regulation.

The appellant argued he was entitled to the quota based on his father's historical production during the 1964-1965 qualifying period.

The Tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding that the appellant failed to satisfactorily explain the 46-year delay in applying for quota, failed to prove qualifying production, and was not himself a chicken producer during the qualifying period.

The Tribunal also denied the request for an exemption, holding that the unaffordability of quota is not a valid basis to grant an exemption that would undermine the supply management system.

Max Burt v. Chicken Farmers of Ontario, 2011 ONAFRAAT 32

OAFRAATAgriculture, Food & Rural Affairs Appeal TribunalSep 1, 2011

Motion to dismiss drainage appeals as frivolous and vexatious denied; case management directions issued.

The City of Kawartha Lakes brought a motion to dismiss several appeals under section 48 of the Drainage Act, arguing they were frivolous and vexatious and that the appellants failed to participate in an alternate hearing before the Drainage Referee.

The Tribunal found that the failure to attend the Referee's proceedings did not render the appeals to the Tribunal frivolous or an abuse of process, as the Referee had confirmed the appellants' right to maintain their appeals to the Tribunal.

The Tribunal also found no factual basis to conclude the appeals were frivolous or vexatious under the legal test.

The motion to dismiss was granted with respect to one appellant who indicated he no longer wished to pursue his appeal, but dismissed for the remaining three appellants.

The Tribunal issued case management directions requiring the remaining appellants to provide full particulars and evidence within 20 days.

Short and No. 2A Drain (Re), 2011 ONAFRAAT 28

OAFRAATAgriculture, Food & Rural Affairs Appeal TribunalJun 20, 2011

Sale agreement for defective farm implement terminated and full refund ordered under the Farm Implements Act.

The applicant purchased a colour sorting machine for agricultural use that failed to perform to specifications within the first ten days of use.

Despite actual notice, the dealer and distributor failed to repair the machine, replace it, or terminate the sale agreement as required by the Farm Implements Act.

The Tribunal ordered the termination of the sale agreement and directed the distributor and dealer to refund the purchase price to the applicant.

Vieraitis v. Xeltron & Phair Systems Ltd., 2011 ONAFRAAT 16

OAFRAATAgriculture, Food & Rural Affairs Appeal TribunalMay 30, 2011

Appeal of meat plant licence non-renewal dismissed due to repeated non-compliance and inspector intimidation.

The appellant appealed a Director's decision refusing to renew its licence to operate a meat plant.

The Tribunal found that the appellant routinely failed to comply with the Food Safety and Quality Act and regulations, compromising food safety and risk management.

The appellant's operator also obstructed, intimidated, and threatened Ministry meat inspectors.

Concluding that the appellant lacked the necessary understanding, skilled personnel, and financial resources to operate in compliance with the legislation, the Tribunal dismissed the appeal and upheld the refusal to renew the licence.

Innerkip Specialty Meats Ltd. v. Director, 2011 ONAFRAAT 13

OAFRAATAgriculture, Food & Rural Affairs Appeal TribunalApr 14, 2011

Appeal dismissed; CFO moratorium on out-of-province chicken processing contracts is intra vires provincial marketing authority.

The appellant, an Ontario chicken producer, appealed decisions of the Chicken Farmers of Ontario (CFO) declining his request to revoke a regulation and policy amendment that placed a moratorium on increasing processing contracts with Quebec processors.

The appellant argued the amendments were ultra vires as they controlled interprovincial trade.

The Tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding that the pith and substance of the impugned instruments was the regulation of chicken marketing transactions within Ontario, which falls squarely within the CFO's delegated authority under the Farm Products Marketing Act.

Henry Bos v. Chicken Farmers Of Ontario, 2011 ONAFRAAT 12

OAFRAATAgriculture, Food & Rural Affairs Appeal TribunalMar 17, 2011

Manufacturer breached regulations by unilaterally non-renewing dealership agreement, but did not breach warranty reimbursement rules.

The applicant farm implement dealer brought a dispute against the respondent manufacturer regarding the end of their 19-year business relationship and warranty repair reimbursements.

The Tribunal divided the hearing into two phases, with Phase 1 focusing on liability.

The Tribunal found that the manufacturer did not breach section 18 of the Farm Implements Act regarding warranty reimbursements, as it paid the dealer in accordance with their existing agreement.

However, the Tribunal found that the manufacturer breached Ontario Regulation 123/06 by refusing to renew the dealership agreement, as the Regulation removed the manufacturer's contractual right to unilaterally non-renew and required that renewal approval not be unreasonably withheld.

Chesterman Farm Equipment Inc. v. CNH Canada Ltd., 2011 ONAFRAAT 10

OAFRAATAgriculture, Food & Rural Affairs Appeal TribunalMar 3, 2011

Association of Ontario Chicken Processors denied full party status but granted intervenor status in appeal.

The Association of Ontario Chicken Processors (AOCP) requested full party status in an ongoing appeal by a chicken producer challenging a regulatory moratorium imposed by the Chicken Farmers of Ontario.

The Tribunal considered the common law principles of intervention and determined that granting full party status on the eve of the hearing would be unfair to the existing parties.

However, recognizing AOCP's sufficient interest in the subject matter, the Tribunal granted AOCP intervenor status to make submissions as a friend of the court.

Henry Bos v. Chicken Farmers of Ontario, 2011 ONAFRAAT 9

OAFRAATAgriculture, Food & Rural Affairs Appeal TribunalNov 16, 2010

Appeal for exemption from chicken quota undermarketing policy dismissed as weather event was not unique.

The appellant, a chicken producer, experienced high bird mortality due to extreme weather conditions, resulting in an undermarketing of 12,783 kgs. of chicken.

Under the Chicken Farmers of Ontario's Quota Policy 170-2005, he was permitted to re-grow up to 10% of his quota allocation (6,684 kgs.).

He appealed to the Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Appeal Tribunal seeking relief to re-grow the remaining 6,099 kgs.

The Tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding that the undermarketing policy was a fault-free entitlement designed to address factors like weather, and that the appellant failed to demonstrate that the weather event was truly unique and exceptional to warrant an exemption beyond the policy.

Victor Osztrovics v. Chicken Farmers of Ontario, 2010 ONAFRAAT 33

OAFRAATAgriculture, Food & Rural Affairs Appeal TribunalNov 5, 2010

Tribunal refused to hear appeal of 2005 chicken quota policies due to passage of time.

The appellant, a chicken producer, appealed certain 2005 and 2009 policies of the Chicken Farmers of Ontario (CFO) to the Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Appeal Tribunal.

The CFO brought a preliminary motion to dismiss the portion of the appeal relating to the 2005 policies, arguing the appellant had known of them for more than a year and was not aggrieved by them.

The Tribunal granted the motion, exercising its discretion under s. 16(4) of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Act to refuse to hear the appeal of the 2005 policies.

The Tribunal noted the policies were developed through a negotiated process, the industry had relied on them for four years, and the requested change to open contracting would fundamentally alter the assurance of supply system.

Henry Bos v. Chicken Farmers of Ontario, 2010 ONAFRAAT 38

OAFRAATAgriculture, Food & Rural Affairs Appeal TribunalSep 1, 2010

Request for review of Tribunal decision denying quota transfer assessment exemption dismissed.

The appellant farm corporation requested a review of a Tribunal decision that denied its request for an exemption from the Dairy Farmers of Ontario's 15% quota transfer assessment.

The appellant had sold its quota after one of its joint operators was diagnosed with terminal cancer.

The appellant argued the Tribunal made material errors of law and fact by misapplying previous exemption cases and by not hearing certain medical evidence.

The Vice-Chair dismissed the request for review, finding no material error of law or fact that would likely have led to a different decision.

Dougal Lea Ltd. v. Dairy Farmers of Ontario, 2010 ONAFRAAT 41

OAFRAATAgriculture, Food & Rural Affairs Appeal TribunalSep 1, 2010

Request for review of Tribunal decision denying dairy quota transfer assessment exemption dismissed.

Dougal Lea Ltd. requested a review of a Tribunal decision that denied its request for an exemption from the Dairy Farmers of Ontario's 15% quota transfer assessment.

The appellant argued the Tribunal made material errors of fact and law by misapplying previous exemption cases and making factual determinations after allegedly discouraging personal medical evidence.

The Vice-Chair found no material error of law, noting that previous Tribunal decisions do not create binding legal principles for compassionate exemptions, which are fact-driven.

The Vice-Chair also found no material error of fact, as the original panel properly distinguished the appellant's circumstances from previous cases.

The request for review was denied.

Dougal Lea Ltd. v. Dairy Farmers of Ontario, 2010 ONAFRAAT 28

OAFRAATAgriculture, Food & Rural Affairs Appeal TribunalAug 20, 2010

Drainage appeal dismissed and $10,000 in costs awarded against appellant for bad conduct and boycotting hearing.

The appellant appealed the quality of construction of a municipal drain under section 64 of the Drainage Act.

After making numerous unsuccessful adjournment requests and failing to follow procedural orders, the appellant and his counsel boycotted the scheduled appeal hearing.

The Tribunal dismissed the adjournment motion and the appeal due to the appellant's failure to attend and adduce evidence.

The Tribunal awarded $10,000 in costs against the appellant for unreasonable, frivolous, and vexatious conduct, noting the multiple delay tactics and disrespect for the Tribunal's processes.

Richard Gosselin v. Township of Brethour, 2010 ONAFRAAT 26

OAFRAATAgriculture, Food & Rural Affairs Appeal TribunalJul 28, 2010

Tribunal awards compensation and directs repairs for quality of construction issues on a municipal drain.

Landowners appealed the quality of construction of the Hambly Sabourin & Beaulac-Beach Municipal Drain under section 64 of the Drainage Act.

The Tribunal found that the contractor deviated from the intended access route, causing damage to Sylvain Gauthier's property, and awarded him $500.

For Garry Beach, the Tribunal ordered the re-construction of a removed property line fence, directed the Engineer to inspect and repair channel rip-rap, and awarded $800 for crop loss due to delayed construction of a culvert crossing.

Other claims regarding drain maintenance, internal fences, and culvert placement were dismissed.

HSBB Municipal Drain (Re), 2010 ONAFRAAT 24

OAFRAATAgriculture, Food & Rural Affairs Appeal TribunalJul 26, 2010

Motion for stay of chicken processing regulation denied as status quo remained unchanged.

The appellant, a chicken producer, brought a motion for a stay of Chicken Farmers of Ontario Regulation 2274-2009 and Policy 175-2009 pending his appeal.

The regulation imposed a moratorium on new processing contracts with out-of-province processors.

The appellant argued his circumstances had changed because his Ontario processor cancelled his contract, and he wished to consolidate production with his Quebec processor.

The Tribunal denied the motion, finding that a stay is intended to preserve the status quo, which had not changed since the appellant would still sell 80% of his production to an Ontario processor and 20% to a Quebec processor.

The Tribunal also noted it lacked jurisdiction over the policy as the appellant had not first sought an exemption from the respondent.
