The appellant, Steve Maynard, appealed the Superior Court's dismissal of his application to quash five municipal by-laws.
The application judge had found that the challenge to the by-laws, based on their alleged inconsistency with a provincial policy statement and non-conformity with an official plan, fell within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT), now the Ontario Land Tribunal.
The Court of Appeal affirmed this decision, holding that it was plain and obvious that the LPAT (or its successor) had exclusive jurisdiction over such matters under the Planning Act.
The appeal was dismissed, and costs were awarded to the respondent.
