The Ontario Flue-Cured Tobacco Growers' Marketing Board brought a motion requesting the Tribunal refuse to hear an appeal by a tobacco grower regarding a request to transfer Basic Production Quota with marketing quota attached.
The Tribunal found that the grower had not completed the required quota transfer application forms, and therefore had not made an application for a hearing to the Board as required by subsection 16(5) of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Act.
The Tribunal concluded it had no authority to hear the appeal and granted the Board's motion.
