The applicant condominium corporation sought a compliance order against a tenant who engaged in bizarre, threatening, and dangerous behaviour, including exposing himself, threatening security with a knife, and vandalizing property.

The unit owner cooperated but opposed being held liable for costs.

The court validated service on the absent tenant, found his conduct breached the Condominium Act, the condominium's rules, and the Occupational Health and Safety Act, and ordered compliance.

The court also awarded $10,000 in costs to the applicant, holding both the tenant and the unit owner jointly and severally liable.

During a Commercial List case conference in a complex multi‑party commercial dispute, the court addressed ongoing discovery and production issues among numerous defendants and third parties.

The court directed timelines for outstanding undertakings and warned that unresolved production disputes would require formal motions before a Master.

The court emphasized counsel’s obligation to cooperate in resolving discovery issues and indicated that failure to do so could result in elevated or full indemnity costs.

Additional guidance was provided regarding potential motions for non‑party examinations and production of partnership financial statements.

The court scheduled a further case conference and noted that the matter would not proceed to trial as early as previously anticipated due to outstanding discovery issues.
