Appeal from conviction and sentence for violations of the Building Code Act and Planning Act.
The appellants operated a garden centre on property zoned within the Oak Ridges Moraine without required permits and in violation of zoning restrictions.
The trial court convicted both appellants on multiple counts and imposed substantial fines.
The appellants appealed on six grounds, including challenges to the rejection of a legal non-conforming use defence, the refusal to adjourn sentencing, and a prior s. 11(b) delay application.
The appellate court dismissed all grounds of appeal, finding no legal error in the trial court's application of zoning law principles or procedural rulings.
