The Ontario Petroleum Institute (OPI) brought a motion for leave to intervene in an appeal concerning the property tax assessment of gas gathering lines.
The underlying appeal challenged the Ontario Energy Board's decision that the lines were 'pipe lines' under the Assessment Act.
The court granted OPI leave to intervene on terms, finding that OPI had an interest in the subject matter and could provide a useful and distinct perspective on the technical meaning of 'transmission' and 'transportation' in the gas industry.
