Canadian Appliance Source LP v. Ontario (Attorney General), 2020 ONSC 7665

The applicant, a retail appliance store, sought a declaration that it was permitted to remain open for in-person shopping during the COVID-19 grey lockdown stage in Toronto and Peel.

The applicant argued it qualified as an essential business under O. Reg 82/20, either as a 'hardware store' or as part of the construction supply chain.

The court dismissed the application, finding that the legislature intended the term 'hardware store' to be given its conventional, everyday meaning, which does not include a store exclusively selling home appliances.

The court rejected the applicant's attempt to stretch the plain language of the regulation.

Canadian Appliance Source LP v. Ontario, 2020 ONSC 7492

The applicant, a home appliance retailer, sought an interim injunction to allow its showrooms to remain open despite being ordered to close under Covid-19 public health regulations.

The applicant argued it qualified as an essential 'hardware store' and would suffer irreparable financial harm if closed during the busy December retail season.

The court dismissed the request for interim relief, finding that while there was a serious issue to be tried and potential irreparable harm, the balance of convenience favoured the respondents.

The court held that the public interest in enforcing public health measures to prevent the spread of Covid-19 outweighed the applicant's private economic interests at this preliminary stage.

Respondent Counsel

The Corporation of the City of Brampton v. Inyat, 2019 ONSC 5390

The applicant municipality brought an unopposed application for certiorari and mandamus to set aside a guilty plea accepted by a Justice of the Peace.

The respondent had originally pleaded not guilty to a careless driving charge, and a trial commenced before a different Justice of the Peace.

The court held that the second Justice of the Peace exceeded her jurisdiction by accepting a guilty plea during a trial over which she was not presiding, contrary to sections 30 and 46 of the Provincial Offences Act.

The application was granted, the guilty plea was set aside, and the matter was remitted to the original Justice of the Peace to continue the trial.
