The Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake sought leave to appeal an interlocutory procedural order of the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT) regarding appeals of an interim control by-law restricting cannabis-related land uses.
The Divisional Court dismissed the motion for leave to appeal as premature.
The court held that there were no exceptional or extraordinary circumstances to justify departing from the general rule against fragmenting administrative tribunal proceedings by hearing appeals from interlocutory decisions.
