The self-represented applicant tenant brought an urgent, ex parte motion in writing for an interim stay of a Landlord and Tenant Board decision regarding his rent payment method.
The Divisional Court declined to hear the motion, finding that the applicant failed to comply with the Rules of Civil Procedure regarding motions in writing and bypassed the mandatory triage and scheduling provisions of the Divisional Court's Notice to the Profession.
The court ordered the applicant to comply with the required procedures before the motion could be heard.
