The appellant appealed the dismissal of his application under the Discriminatory Business Practices Act, which sought an order allowing him to play in the Greater Toronto Hockey League despite not meeting residency requirements.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal as moot because the appellant had subsequently moved and played in the league for two seasons.
The court declined to hear the appeal on the broader issue of whether the residency requirements generally contravened the Act, as this was not the focus of the original application.
