The applicant sought judicial review of a housing cooperative's decision that she was no longer eligible for a Rent-Geared-to-Income subsidy after refusing an offer for a one-bedroom unit.

The applicant argued the cooperative lacked the delegated authority to make this determination.

The Divisional Court dismissed the application, finding that the service manager had expressly delegated the authority to determine eligibility and consider extenuating circumstances to the cooperative.

The court also found the cooperative's decision that the applicant failed to establish extenuating circumstances was reasonable.

The applicant grandparents sought summary judgment for final sole custody of their grandson, who had been living with them since March 2018 following a traumatic incident involving the respondent mother.

The mother opposed the motion but failed to provide evidence of a stable housing or parenting plan.

Relying on the uncontested report of the Office of the Children's Lawyer and finding no genuine issue for trial, the court granted sole custody to the grandparents and ordered access for the mother.
