The Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA) brought a motion for leave to intervene in an application to set aside an arbitration appeal decision regarding a real estate commission dispute.
The applicant opposed the motion, arguing OREA had no genuine interest in the private dispute.
The court granted the motion, finding that OREA had a genuine interest in the jurisdictional issues raised, specifically whether the applicant was prohibited from commencing the application under the arbitration scheme's rules, and that OREA could make a useful contribution without causing injustice to the parties.
