The parties reached a settlement agreement involving the revocation of the original order, the issuance of a new order specifying risk management measures for the affected properties, and the withdrawal of the appeals.

The Environmental Review Tribunal found the settlement consistent with the Environmental Protection Act and in the public interest, approved the withdrawal of the appeals, and directed the issuance of the new order.

The appellants appealed a Director's Order requiring them to develop and implement measures to prevent adverse effects from the discharge of contaminants at a former manufactured gas plant site.

The parties agreed to two work plans and requested an adjournment of the hearing to allow for the implementation of these plans and to amend the compliance dates in the Director's Order.

The Tribunal found the adjournment request fair and reasonable under Rule 105 and granted the adjournment to June 2017 for a status update.

The applicant filed an application alleging discrimination and reprisal under the Human Rights Code, while also pursuing an action in Small Claims Court involving overlapping facts and issues.

The Tribunal issued a Notice of Intent to Defer.

The applicant opposed deferral, noting her Small Claims Court claim was struck and appealed to the Divisional Court.

The respondents supported deferral to avoid multiplicity of proceedings.

The Tribunal ordered the deferral of the application pending the conclusion of the civil proceeding and any related appeals, citing the significant potential for duplication of evidence and inconsistent findings.
