CONDOMINIUM AUTHORITY TRIBUNAL
DATE: May 8, 2025 CASE: 2024-00140R CITATION: Cayer v. Peel Condominium Corporation No. 11, 2025 ONCAT 75
Order under section 1.44 of the Condominium Act, 1998.
Member: Ian Darling, Chair
The Applicant, Maureen Cayer Self-represented
The Respondent, Peel Condominium Corporation No. 11 Represented by Abdul Samad, Agent
DISMISSAL ORDER
1This case is dismissed under Rule 19.1 of the CAT’s Rules of Practice for the following reasons:
Stage 1 − Negotiation has been ongoing for more than a year; however, there has been no progress of negotiations between the parties in the case.
The Respondent previously made a motion to dismiss the case on May 28, 2024. The CAT has issued a Motion Order after having reviewed the parties’ submissions and denied the dismissal as the criteria for it were not met at the time (Cayer v. Peel Condominium Corporation No. 11, 2024 ONCAT 71).
Since then, there has been little to no progress in negotiations between the parties.
On March 25, 2025, the Applicant has been informed by the CAT Staff of the option of moving the case to Stage 2 − Mediation due to the lack of progress during Stage 1 − Negotiation and warned that failure to do so (and in the absence of progress) could result in the CAT moving to dismiss the case.
Since then, the case has not been moved to Stage 2 − Mediation and there has still been no progress of negotiations.
2The CAT issued a Notice of Intent to Dismiss the case. The Applicant did not respond to the Notice.
3I find that maintaining a negotiation for over a year with little progress is using the CAT for an improper purpose. Accordingly, I order that this case be dismissed.
ORDER
4The Tribunal orders the case dismissed.
