A stay of a custody order pending appeal was granted to prevent premature relocation.
The Appellants sought a stay of a custody order pending appeal, which had awarded custody of two children to the Respondents (maternal grandmother and her common-law spouse).
The court applied the three-part test for a stay, considering a serious question on appeal, irreparable harm to the children if the stay was not granted, and the balance of convenience.
The court found serious issues warranting appellate review and determined that relocating the children to British Columbia and then potentially back to Ontario would cause irreparable harm.
The motion to stay was granted, with strict timelines for the appeal process.
Human rights applications for housing discrimination dismissed due to applicant's lack of credibility.
The applicant filed human rights applications alleging that the respondent landlord denied her and her son accommodation on the basis of family status and disability (ADHD).
The applicant claimed the respondent refused to let her view a townhouse at an alternate time and made a derogatory comment about her son's disability during the viewing.
The Tribunal dismissed the applications, finding the applicant's evidence to be inconsistent, unreliable, and lacking credibility.
The Tribunal accepted the respondent's evidence that the applicant was not considered as a tenant due to her own conduct during the visit, not for discriminatory reasons.
