The applicant, Mississauga Hardware Centre Inc., sought interlocutory and permanent injunctive relief to compel the respondent, Prombank Investment Limited, to remove barriers restricting access to a shopping plaza.
Mississauga Hardware alleged breaches of the implied covenant for quiet enjoyment, the doctrine of non-derogation from grant, and the landlord's duty to act in good faith.
Prombank asserted its contractual right to control plaza access, arguing the restrictions were a reasonable response to parking issues caused by a neighbouring business and that the applicant failed to demonstrate irreparable harm or mitigate losses.
The court applied the three-part test for interlocutory injunctions and found no serious issue to be tried, no irreparable harm, and that the balance of convenience did not favour granting the injunction.
The application was dismissed, with the court finding Prombank's actions to be a measured and reasonable response to the parking problems.
