The appellant filed a petition for drainage works under the Drainage Act.
The Township of Ramara decided not to proceed with the petition, basing its decision on comments from the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority regarding an engineering report rather than the petition itself.
The Tribunal found that the Township considered extraneous and irrelevant factors not permitted under section 4 of the Act.
The Tribunal overturned the Township's decision and directed the drainage petition to proceed, noting that the appellant was denied due process.
