The tenants moved to extend time to seek leave to appeal a consent eviction order of the Landlord and Tenant Board.

The court initially granted the motion, mistakenly believing it was unopposed due to an administrative error that failed to place the respondent's materials before the judge.

In a corrigendum, the court reviewed the respondent landlord's materials and reversed its decision, dismissing the motion for an extension of time and leave to appeal.

The court found no merit in the appeal, noting the consent order was made with legal representation and the tenants had improperly paid rent to the defaulting owner instead of the attorning mortgagee.
