The moving parties sought leave to appeal a decision of the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT).

The City of Toronto, which took the same position as the moving parties before LPAT, did not appeal and took no position on the motion.

The Divisional Court dismissed the motion for leave to appeal and ordered the moving parties to pay costs of $15,000 to the respondent developer.

The moving party sought leave to appeal a decision of the Ontario Municipal Board that dismissed its appeals against the City's official plan and zoning by-law amendments for the redevelopment of a hospital site.

The moving party opposed the demolition of the old hospital building, raising environmental, affordable housing, and heritage preservation concerns.

The Divisional Court dismissed the motion for leave to appeal, finding no good reason to doubt the correctness of the Board's decision on any of the raised issues.
