Motion for costs against municipality dismissed; conduct was not unreasonable or in bad faith.

The Tribunal found the municipality's conduct was not unreasonable, frivolous, vexatious, or in bad faith, noting the public interest served by the interim control by-law and study.
The motion for costs was dismissed.
Appeals allowed to permit migrant farm worker housing and exempt lands from interim control by-law.
The appellant appealed the Town of Kingsville's failure to make a decision on zoning by-law amendments to permit the conversion of single-family dwellings to migrant farm worker housing.
At a settlement hearing, the Tribunal accepted uncontroverted expert planning evidence that the amendments were consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, conformed to the applicable Official Plans, and represented good planning.
The Tribunal allowed the appeals, directed the municipality to amend the zoning by-law, and exempted the subject lands from an existing Interim Control By-law.
Human rights applications against police and review director dismissed for lacking reasonable prospect of success.

The Tribunal held a summary hearing and dismissed both applications, finding no reasonable prospect of success as the applicant could point to no evidence linking the respondents' actions to a protected Code ground or establishing an intention to reprise.
