Leave to appeal granted to review the Ontario Municipal Board's interpretation of Oak Ridges Moraine legislation.
The moving parties sought leave to appeal a decision of the Ontario Municipal Board which found that the respondents fell within the transition provisions of the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Act and were entitled to a hearing on their appeals regarding aggregate resource uses.
The Divisional Court granted leave to appeal, finding that the interpretation of the newly enacted legislation raised a point of law of sufficient public importance and that there was sufficient reason to doubt the correctness of the Board's decision.
