The court ordered forfeiture of seized cash, rejecting a complicit third party's claim of ownership.
The Public Prosecution Service of Canada applied for forfeiture of cash and property seized during the execution of a search warrant at an illegal marijuana dispensary located at 1111-A Finch Avenue West in Toronto.
The accused, Zoran Vujisic, pleaded guilty to trafficking in marijuana and other offences and relinquished his interest in the seized property.
A third party, Sina Majidi, the building owner and property manager, claimed ownership of cash found in two safes located in a first-floor storage unit.
The court found that the cash was offence-related property connected to the dispensary operation through a concealed pulley system.
The court rejected Majidi's claim of lawful ownership, finding his evidence not credible and establishing his complicity in the illegal operation.
The court ordered forfeiture of all seized property and cash.
Human rights application against WSIB and WSIAT dismissed for lack of jurisdiction and untimeliness.
The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination with respect to services by the WSIAT and WSIB based on events that occurred 22 years prior.
The Tribunal held a summary hearing by teleconference to determine if the application had a reasonable prospect of success and whether it was timely.
The Tribunal found that it lacked jurisdiction to review WSIB benefit decisions or WSIAT appeal processes for Code compliance in this manner.
Furthermore, the application was out of time under section 34 of the Code, as continuing effects of past decisions do not constitute ongoing discrimination.
The application was dismissed.
