The claimants brought a motion for a Procedural Order requiring the disclosure of a business loss report by the respondents and the scheduling of examinations for discovery in an expropriation proceeding.

During the Case Management Conference, the parties settled the motion and agreed to hearing dates.

The Tribunal approved the draft Procedural Order and scheduled an eight-day hearing for September 2022, along with a further Case Management Conference for March 2022.

The Ontario Land Tribunal issued an amending decision to correct a technical or typographical error in the Titles of Proceeding of a previous decision issued on June 25, 2021.

The correction was made pursuant to Rule 24.4 of the Tribunal's Rules of Practice and Procedure.

In all other respects, the original decision remains unchanged.

The Tribunal held a fourth Case Management Conference concerning appeals of the City of Hamilton's Official Plan Amendment No. 69 and Zoning By-law Amendment No. 17-240.

The parties agreed to split the appeals into City-wide appeals and site-specific appeals.

The Tribunal approved the scoping of the appeals, scheduled a five-week hearing for the City-wide appeals, and issued the associated Procedural Order.

The applicant appealed the city's failure to make a decision on applications for a zoning by-law amendment and site plan approval to permit a nine-storey institutional building.

At the second Case Management Conference, the Tribunal was advised that the parties were engaged in ongoing Tribunal-led mediation.

At the request of the parties, the Tribunal scheduled a third Case Management Conference to allow the mediation to continue and directed the preparation of a draft Procedural Order in the event a settlement is not reached.
