A student was convicted of an absolute liability offence for using a student transit pass without the mandatory photo identification.
A post-secondary student charged with failing to comply with conditions of use of fare media under TTC Bylaw Number 1, section 2.3(b), for using a student Metropass without the required TTC Post-Secondary Student Photo ID.
The defendant was eligible for the reduced student fare but did not possess the mandatory photo identification at the time of entry.
The court distinguished between eligibility and compliance, finding that while the defendant may have been eligible, he was not in compliance with the conditions of use.
The court classified the offence as one of absolute liability, rejecting the defence of due diligence based on the precise language of the bylaw and accompanying conditions.
Appeal of order approving receiver's sale of assets dismissed as Soundair principles appropriately applied.
The appellant, a secured creditor, appealed an order approving a receiver's proposed purchase agreement and technology license agreement for the assets of the respondent companies.
The appellant argued that the proposal was identical to one previously rejected by another judge.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding that the new proposal differed significantly and that the motion judge appropriately applied the Soundair principles in approving the transaction, given the changed circumstances and the need to sell the subsidiary as a going concern.
