The respondent was ordered to pay $180,000 into court or face a 15-day custodial sentence for deliberately breaching a preservation order.
The respondent was found in contempt for deliberately breaching an interim preservation and non-dissipation order by obtaining mortgages on a property, transferring proceeds to her mother, and transferring another property to her sister.
Despite being given four months to undertake meaningful efforts to purge the contempt, she failed to do so.
The court considered aggravating factors, such as the deliberate and flagrant nature of the breaches and financial benefit, and mitigating factors, including her admission and apology.
The court ordered the respondent to pay $180,000 into court by a specific date, failing which a 15-day custodial sentence would be imposed.
The court also ordered disclosure related to an undisclosed property.
LTB eviction orders set aside due to procedural unfairness from excluding tenants during virtual hearings.
The appellants, two tenants in a residential property, appealed decisions of the Landlord and Tenant Board terminating their tenancies for the landlord's own use.
The Divisional Court found that the Board member breached the duty of procedural fairness by excluding each tenant from portions of the virtual hearing where relevant evidence was given, and then relying on that evidence in the decisions.
The appeals were allowed and the matters remitted to the Board for new hearings before a different member.
