The moving parties, who were appealing an eviction order from the Landlord and Tenant Board, brought a motion to be referred to by pseudonyms in the court proceeding.
The eviction stemmed from the moving parties' inappropriate conduct toward other tenants regarding COVID-19 vaccinations and masks.
Applying the Sherman Estate framework, the court dismissed the motion, finding that the moving parties failed to demonstrate that court openness posed a serious risk to an important public interest or that the information was so sensitive as to be an affront to dignity.
