The landlords brought a motion to quash the tenant's appeal of a Landlord and Tenant Board eviction order.
The tenant had not paid rent since August 2019 and failed to attend the Board hearing or the motion to quash.
The Divisional Court found the appeal raised no questions of law and was manifestly devoid of merit.
The court quashed the appeal as an abuse of process designed solely to obtain an automatic stay of eviction, and awarded substantial indemnity costs to the landlords.
