The plaintiffs and defendants swapped possession of their respective properties in 1991 without transferring title.
The plaintiffs obtained an eviction order from the Landlord and Tenant Board against the defendants for unpaid rent on one of the properties.
The defendants moved for an interlocutory injunction to stay the eviction order pending the resolution of the plaintiffs' action for title transfer and the defendants' counterclaim.
The court dismissed the motion, finding that the defendants failed to meet the test for an injunction, as the plaintiffs had a strong case, the defendants did not adequately demonstrate irreparable harm, and the balance of convenience favoured the plaintiffs.
