The appellants appealed the Town of Erin's Development Charge By-law 24-35 under section 14 of the Development Charges Act, 1997.

The parties reached a settlement resolving issues related to fire services, parks and recreation, roads, public works, water, and the growth forecast, which reduced the development charges.

Based on the uncontroverted affidavit evidence of a land economist, the Tribunal found the settlement fair, reasonable, and in accordance with the Act.

The Tribunal allowed the appeals in part, amended the by-law's schedule of development charges, and ordered the Town to issue refunds accordingly.

The appellants appealed the Municipality of Chatham-Kent's Development Charges By-law No. 148-2022 under section 14 of the Development Charges Act, 1997.

The parties reached a settlement and presented revised development charge rates to the Tribunal.

Based on uncontested expert evidence that the revised rates conformed with the Act and did not increase the amounts payable, the Tribunal approved the settlement and ordered the by-law amended accordingly.
