The appellants appealed a Director's Order requiring them to retain a consultant and apply for an Environmental Compliance Approval to address failing illegal sewage systems at their motel and trailer park.
The appellants argued that the sole director of the corporate owner should be removed from the order and cited financial hardship.
The Ontario Land Tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding that the sole director had management and control of the site, financial hardship was not grounds to remove a person from a control document, and the appellants were operating illegal failing sewage systems in violation of the Ontario Water Resources Act.
