The landlords brought a motion to quash the tenants' appeal of a Landlord and Tenant Board order evicting them from a residential property.
The eviction was based on an N12 notice for a purchaser's own use.
The tenants appealed on several grounds, including that the LTB member erred in interpreting section 72 of the Residential Tenancies Act and violated procedural fairness.
The Divisional Court found that the appeal was manifestly devoid of merit and intended to delay eviction, as the grounds were either baseless or impermissible appeals of findings of fact.
The motion to quash was granted and the stay of eviction was lifted.
