The moving party brought an interlocutory motion to add five individuals as co-applicants to her application for judicial review, which challenged the municipality's requirement to install a smart water meter at her property.
She also sought to permit future applicants to be added without leave and to compel the municipality to respond before the next case conference.
The court dismissed the request to add parties, finding the proposed co-applicants lacked private or public interest standing and their addition would needlessly complicate the proceeding.
However, the court granted the request to compel an early response from the municipality to avoid further delay.
