The applicant, CCI Bioenergy Inc., sought an interlocutory injunction to compel the respondent, Veolia Water Canada, Inc., to continue an agreement for organic waste processing services and to reinstate two of CCI's employees, following an explosion at the facility and subsequent termination of services by Veolia.
The court applied the three-part test for interlocutory injunctions, finding the injunction sought was mandatory, requiring a strong prima facie case.
The court determined that CCI failed to establish a strong prima facie case or demonstrate irreparable harm, and that the balance of convenience favored Veolia due to the breakdown of trust and potential safety issues.
The motion for injunction was dismissed, but a sealing order for CCI's financial statements and personal employee information was granted.
Costs were awarded to Veolia.
