The City of Toronto has received a total of 694 appeals to the new zoning by-law for the amalgamated City of Toronto (the New By-law) that was passed by City Council on August 27, 2010.

Despite the passage of the New By-law the 43 zoning by-laws of the former municipalities will, for the time being, remain in effect. Where there is a conflict between the former zoning by-laws and the New By-law the most restrictive regulation is applied in the Building Permit review process.

While no pre-hearing conferences have been scheduled at this time by the OMB, the City has initiated settlement negotiations with some of the property owners who have submitted appeals.

Project Owner’s Duty Of Good Faith: Court Of Appeal Upholds $15.7 Million Award To Contractor

La Cour d'appel du Québec confirme une indemnité de 15,7 M$ contre un donneur d'ouvrage pour manquement à son devoir de bonne foi dans l'affaire PG4 c. Énergir. L'arrêt établit qu'un donneur d'ouvrage ne peut créer des attentes légitimes quant au traitement d'une réclamation pour ensuite se réfugier derrière le formalisme contractuel, consacrant ainsi les principes de loyauté et de cohérence dans les contrats de construction.
