The appellant appealed a Small Claims Court decision regarding waste disposal fees charged by the City of Toronto.
The appellant failed to compact all its waste as required by the municipal bylaw, and the City charged the compacted rate for the uncompacted waste.
The appellant argued the General Manager acted outside his authority and performed a legislative function.
The Divisional Court dismissed the appeal, finding the General Manager was properly carrying out an administrative function necessary for the proper administration of the waste management program.
The court amended the trial costs award on consent.
