The applicant sought a temporary cease trade order against an insider bid made by the respondent, alleging the respondent failed to obtain a formal valuation as required by MI 61-101.

The applicant argued the respondent possessed undisclosed material information, specifically confidential power purchase agreement pricing and wind speed data.

The Commission found the applicant failed to provide prima facie evidence that the information was material, noting the applicant's own Directors' Circular stated there was no undisclosed material information.

The Commission dismissed the request for a temporary cease trade order and granted the respondent's cross-motion to dismiss the application.
