Endi Batino

The Respondent municipality expropriated fee simple and temporary limited interests from the Claimant's property in 2015 and 2018.

The Respondent delivered a Notice of Arbitration in June 2023, but the Claimant failed to deliver a Statement of Claim.

At a Case Management Conference, the self-represented Claimant requested an indefinite extension of time to file his claim, citing medical issues from motor vehicle accidents.

The Tribunal reviewed the Claimant's medical documents but found no evidence that he was medically unable to prepare a claim or retain counsel.

The Tribunal denied the indefinite extension but granted an extension to March 1, 2024, for the Claimant to deliver his Statement of Claim.

The Regional Municipality of York commenced an arbitration against Calgas Investments Limited to determine compensation for expropriated property interests.

At the first Case Management Conference, the Ontario Land Tribunal approved the parties' draft Procedural Order and scheduled a five-day hearing on the merits for March 2024.

The Tribunal also directed the parties to arrange a mediation assessment and pre-hearing conference.
