It's both a S.43 review and a Divisional Court challenge. Neither of which has to be granted, remember, and the burden of proof is put on the appellant so it's harder to get it through, but yes, more delays...

That's new info to me, so thanks for that.

My reading of S.43 is that there is no basis for a review; I'll be interested to see if the Chair agrees w/me. The standard for a Divisional Court appeal, I believe, is similar. (due process violation, error at law). To the extent that is the case, I would again reaffirm my view that the appeal should be dismissed, preferably with costs.

What do they say about winning a battle but losing the war? The groups must know that they will only delay this and that this is an example of a much larger trend.

Shameful. Of course, absolute silence from the local Willowdale MPP and cabinet minister.

It's an absolute cuck move if the City doesn't pursue costs at this stage. It also sets a precedent for future frivolous appeals of this nature.
Why would they opine? They're both publicly on the side of the appellants.

Opponents of Willowdale supportive housing plan throw another hurdle at the project
The group's request for a review of the appeal ruling is the latest twist in a years-long saga surrounding the city's development plans for supportive housing at 175 Cummer Ave.

As that will behind the paywall to most; i will bring forward a key bit:
Again, a lay opinion here, but I don't find either of the two arguments made above rise to the standard for a review of the decision.
Even if, they were errors in law; it doesn't follow to me that it would have altered the outcome of the decision.
I am disappointed with the time-wasting here, and will be more so if that adds any substantive barrier to this project.
