The appellant in a zoning and severance appeal to the Toronto Local Appeal Body died shortly before the scheduled hearing.
At a pre-hearing conference, the appellant's counsel requested that the matter be held in abeyance to allow the estate to determine whether to withdraw the appeal.
The tribunal granted the request, ordering the appellant's counsel to communicate the estate's decision by June 15, 2023, failing which the tribunal noted its statutory authority to dismiss the appeal without a hearing.
