Justice J.N. Morissette

The applicant health unit sought to relocate its headquarters by entering into a new lease.

The respondent County, which was the applicant's current landlord and an unsuccessful bidder for the new location, refused to consent to the lease under s. 52(3) of the Health Protection and Promotion Act.

The court determined that a lease constitutes 'holding real property' under the Act, thus requiring municipal consent.

However, the court set aside the County's refusal, finding it was made in bad faith and with a reasonable apprehension of bias due to the County's direct financial interest in keeping the applicant as a tenant.

The applicant sought a determination of the respondent's income for child support and section 7 expenses.

The respondent, a sole shareholder of two corporations, claimed an income of $34,000 while declaring expenses of $86,000.

The court found the respondent's financial disclosure unreliable and that he was underreporting his income by charging personal expenses to his corporations.

Relying on sections 19, 22, and 23 of the Federal Child Support Guidelines, the court imputed the respondent's annual income at $86,000.

The respondent was ordered to pay ongoing child support based on the imputed income and $5,641 in net arrears for child support, section 7 expenses, and erroneously claimed child tax benefits.

The applicant, charged with production of marijuana and possession of oxycodone, brought a Charter application under sections 8 and 9 challenging the validity of a search warrant and his subsequent arrest.

The search warrant was based on a detailed tip from a named informant who had dated the applicant.

The applicant argued the police failed to sufficiently corroborate the tip before obtaining the warrant.

The court dismissed the application, finding the detailed, first-hand information provided reasonable and probable grounds for the warrant without the need for further surveillance, and that the arrest was lawful.
