Metrolinx applied for a warrant to take possession of expropriated lands, while the respondent landlords and tenants applied to postpone possession, arguing Metrolinx failed to make a valid, good-faith offer of compensation under s. 25 of the Expropriations Act.
Metrolinx had offered $1.00 due to alleged environmental contamination but refused to answer questions or provide environmental reports during examinations.
The respondents sought an adjournment to bring a refusals motion before a Master.
The court granted the adjournment, finding the respondents had a reasonable basis to test whether Metrolinx's offer was made in good faith.
