The defendant, a real estate appraiser, brought a motion to strike the plaintiff's statement of claim for negligent misrepresentation.

The plaintiff alleged the defendant negligently appraised a property, causing a buyer's bank to refuse financing and the sale to fall through.

The court granted the motion to strike, finding it plain and obvious the claim would fail because the appraiser owed no duty of care to the plaintiff.

The appraisal was prepared solely for the buyer's bank, and the plaintiff did not rely on it.

The applicant, a former member of the respondent housing co-operative, alleged discrimination on the basis of race, colour, disability, family status, and association.

Following an earlier interim decision that dismissed allegations regarding subsidy calculations, the remaining issue concerned whether the applicant experienced discriminatory differential treatment regarding repair requests.

At a summary hearing, the Tribunal found that the applicant failed to provide particularized witness statements or any evidence linking the alleged repair delays to prohibited Code grounds.

The application was dismissed as having no reasonable prospect of success.

The applicant filed a human rights complaint against a fraternity and a university.

The university requested a deferral pending its internal investigation, which the Tribunal denied because an internal investigation is not a proceeding under s. 45.1 of the Code.

The fraternity's request for a summary hearing was also denied.

The applicant's unopposed request to amend the application to vary remedies and add a local fraternity chapter as a respondent was granted.
