The appellants moved to set aside a Registrar's order dismissing their appeal from a Landlord and Tenant Board eviction order for delay.
The appellants failed to order a transcript of the proceedings, claiming a misunderstanding.
The court found the explanation unreasonable and concluded the appellants were deliberately delaying the appeal to take advantage of the automatic stay and reside rent-free.
The motion was dismissed due to the lack of a credible explanation and the ongoing prejudice to the respondent landlord.
