The landlords brought a motion to quash the tenants' appeal from a Landlord and Tenant Board order terminating their tenancy and ordering payment for damages.
The tenants had failed to attend the initial Board hearing and their request for a review was dismissed.
The Divisional Court found that the tenants' appeal was an abuse of process due to their failure to pay rent, delay, and non-compliance with court directions.
The court also found the appeal was manifestly devoid of merit as it did not raise a genuine question of law.
The motion was granted and the appeal was quashed.
