The appellant appealed a decision of the Fire Safety Commission upholding an Inspection Order that imposed conditions on burning brush on his farm.
The appellant argued the Inspector lacked jurisdiction and that the Commission's decision was procedurally unfair because it failed to provide reasons for upholding the conditions.
The Divisional Court found the Inspector had jurisdiction but agreed that the Commission's failure to provide reasons regarding the reasonableness of the conditions breached the duty of procedural fairness.
The appeal was allowed and the matter remitted to the Commission for reconsideration.
