The applicant sought judicial review of two Toronto Licensing Tribunal decisions that first suspended and later revoked his vehicle-for-hire licence due to uncivil behaviour toward municipal staff.

The applicant argued the tribunal ignored evidence of provocation and breached procedural fairness.

The Divisional Court dismissed the application, finding the tribunal reasonably weighed the evidence, considered the context, and appropriately prioritized the public interest after the applicant continued his behaviour despite completing anger management counselling.

The applicant sought a stay of two decisions by the Toronto Licensing Tribunal that revoked his vehicle-for-hire driver's licence, pending his application for judicial review.

The Tribunal had revoked the licence after finding the applicant repeatedly harassed and acted uncivilly toward by-law enforcement officers, even after completing anger management counselling.

The Divisional Court dismissed the motion for a stay, finding the applicant failed to establish a serious issue to be tried and that the balance of convenience favoured protecting the public and allowing by-law officers to fulfill their duties without harassment.
