The tenant appealed a Landlord and Tenant Board order evicting him for the purpose of demolishing the rental unit.
The tenant argued the LTB breached procedural fairness by proceeding with the hearing after his lawyer left, leaving him self-represented.
The Divisional Court dismissed the appeal, finding no procedural unfairness because the tenant did not request an adjournment, participated appropriately in the hearing, and the LTB had no duty to inquire into his representation status.
The court also refused to admit fresh evidence regarding the tenant's subjective state of mind and ordered costs to the landlord.
