The applicant sought judicial review to quash a resolution by the City of Brantford to sell a municipal golf course to fund affordable housing. The applicant argued the City breached its procedural by-law, failed to notify First Nations under an agreement, and that councillors had a disqualifying bias. The Divisional Court dismissed the application, finding no procedural error, that the applicant lacked standing to raise the First Nations notice issue, and that the high threshold for establishing a closed mind by municipal councillors was not met. The application was also dismissed due to a seven-month delay in bringing the proceeding.
