The applicant sought judicial review of a notice from the Travel Industry Council of Ontario (TICO) requiring it to register as a travel agent or face potential charges under the Travel Industry Act, 2002.
The Divisional Court dismissed the application at the outset of the hearing, finding it lacked jurisdiction.
The court held that TICO's notice was not an exercise of a statutory power of decision under the Judicial Review Procedure Act, as TICO only has the power to seek an injunction or initiate a prosecution, not to unilaterally decide the applicant's legal rights.
