Motion for disclosure of commercial leases, sale agreements, and appraisal report in assessment appeal granted.
The City of Vaughan brought a motion for disclosure of documents from Promenade General Partner Inc. in a property assessment appeal.
The requested documents included full commercial leases, agreements of purchase and sale, and an appraisal report.
Promenade opposed the motion, arguing that the documents contained irrelevant information, that production was disproportionate, and that confidentiality could not be ensured.
The Assessment Review Board granted the motion, finding that the requested documents were relevant to the issues in dispute and that their disclosure was proportionate and necessary for the parties to prepare their cases.
