The plaintiff, a solar power installation company, sued the Ontario Power Authority (OPA) for misfeasance in public office.
The plaintiff alleged that the OPA unlawfully amended the microFIT Program rules without providing the required 90 days' notice, intentionally causing harm to the plaintiff's business.
The Superior Court of Justice dismissed the action, finding that the OPA did not engage in deliberate unlawful conduct or act with bad faith.
The court held that the OPA acted in good faith to balance ratepayer interests and implement Ministerial directives regarding renewable energy procurement.
Although the court assessed potential damages at $470,250, no liability was found.
