The appellant tenant appealed an eviction order and the subsequent refusal of the Ontario Rental Housing Tribunal to re-open a review hearing.
The tenant had failed to attend the initial review hearing because he was hospitalized for psychiatric care.
The Divisional Court found that the tribunal's refusal to consider the tenant's medical inability to attend constituted a denial of natural justice.
The Court extended the time to appeal the original order, set aside the order denying the review request, and ordered a rehearing.
