The appellant, acting as substitute decision-maker for her husband, appealed a decision of the Consent and Capacity Board regarding his treatment plan.

Before the appeal could be decided, the husband passed away.

The court applied the test for mootness from Borowski and determined that the appeal was moot because there was no longer a live controversy between the parties.

The court declined to exercise its discretion to hear the moot appeal, finding that the issues were highly fact-specific and raised no questions of public importance.

The appeal was dismissed.

The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination with respect to services because of disability.

An employee of the respondent, whose conduct was the subject of the allegations, filed a Request to Intervene to defend her reputation.

The Tribunal denied the request, finding that the employee's interests would be adequately addressed through her anticipated testimony as a witness for the respondent, and she would not provide assistance to the Tribunal that could not otherwise be provided.

The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination with respect to employment, housing, and services.

The respondents requested that the Tribunal defer the application because the applicant had previously filed a complaint with the College of Physicians and Surgeons regarding the same incidents.

The Tribunal ordered the deferral of the application, finding it to be the most fair, just, and expeditious way to proceed given the potential for duplication of evidence and inconsistent findings of fact and law.

The Ontario College of Teachers and the member brought a joint motion seeking leave to withdraw allegations of professional misconduct and incompetence.

The parties consented to a resolution requiring the member to complete a course on student-teacher boundaries and write a letter of apology.

The Discipline Committee granted the motion pursuant to section 4.1 of the Statutory Powers Procedure Act, finding the agreed resolution reasonable and in the public interest.
