The applicant sought a stay of the municipality's decision to revoke its taxi licences and refuse additional licences pending an application for judicial review.
The municipality had revoked the licences based on by-law violations and non-compliance with COVID-19 orders.
Applying the RJR-MacDonald test, the court found that while there was a serious issue to be tried, the applicant failed to establish irreparable harm, as the alleged financial losses were quantifiable.
The court also found the balance of convenience favoured the municipality's public interest in enforcing its regulatory scheme.
The motion for a stay was dismissed.
