The Attorney General of Ontario brought a motion for an order to preserve real property under the Civil Remedies Act, 2001, pending a forfeiture application.
The property was alleged to be an instrument of unlawful activity, specifically a location for illegal drug sales.
The self-represented respondent sought multiple adjournments but failed to file responding materials.
The court found reasonable grounds to believe the property was an instrument of unlawful activity based on police evidence of drug trafficking and granted the preservation order.
