The applicant sought judicial review of three decisions of the Health Professions Appeal and Review Board, which confirmed decisions of the Inquiries, Complaints and Reports Committee of the Royal College of Dental Surgeons to take no further action regarding his complaints against three dentists.

The applicant alleged procedural fairness violations and that the decisions were unreasonable.

The Divisional Court dismissed the application, finding that the Board accorded the applicant procedural fairness and that its decisions were reasonable and adequately justified.

The landlords appealed a decision of the Landlord and Tenant Board ordering them to repay unlawful rent increases to the tenants.

The landlords argued that section 135.1 of the Residential Tenancies Act, which deems certain rent increases not void if paid for 12 consecutive months, prevented the Board from ordering repayment.

The Divisional Court found that while the Board erred in characterizing the legislative purpose of section 135.1, it did not err in interpreting 'finally determined' or in applying the law to the facts.

The appeal was dismissed, and the landlords were required to repay the illegal rent.

The third parties brought a motion for leave to appeal the order of Jaye Hooper J. dated February 27, 2023.

The Divisional Court dismissed the motion for leave to appeal and awarded costs of $5,000 to the responding party.

The moving parties brought a motion for leave to appeal the order of Koehnen J. dated May 24, 2023.

The motion was heard in writing by a panel of the Divisional Court.

The court dismissed the motion for leave to appeal without costs.

The appellant tenant appealed an order of the Condominium Authority Tribunal holding him jointly and severally liable with his landlord to pay $18,239.60 in compensation to the condominium corporation.

The Divisional Court allowed the appeal, finding a breach of procedural fairness because the corporation had not requested this relief against the tenant and the Tribunal's procedural order did not list it as an issue.

The Tribunal's order was varied to make the landlord solely liable for the compensation.
