The Assessment Review Board held a pre-hearing telephone conference regarding property assessment appeals for the 2013, 2014, and 2015 taxation years.

The Board found the appellant in default of a previous order requiring the service of a Statement of Issues.

The Board ordered the appellant to serve the Statement of Issues on MPAC and the municipality by December 18, 2015, failing which the appeals would be dismissed without further notice pursuant to section 8.2 of the Assessment Review Board Act.

The appellant submitted a written request for an order permitting an alternative to personal service of non-parties for a motion to compel MPAC to produce third-party information protected by section 53 of the Assessment Act.

MPAC consented to the request.

The Assessment Review Board granted the order, allowing service by courier or registered mail to the non-parties' legal counsel or addresses on the assessment rolls.
