Appeal dismissed; Board had statutory authority to order new hearing after member resigned before decision.
The tenant appealed a Landlord and Tenant Board decision awarding rent arrears to the landlord.
The original Board member resigned before issuing a decision, prompting the Board chair to order a new hearing.
The tenant failed to attend the new hearing and subsequently appealed, arguing the Board erred by not issuing the original member's decision and that he was denied procedural fairness due to lost exhibits.
The Divisional Court dismissed the appeal, finding no error of law or denial of procedural fairness, as the Board has statutory authority to order a hearing de novo.
