BCTA 215 Administrative Law

In the case of Manpel v. Greenwin Property Management, the tenant, Larry Manpel, applied for judicial review of the decision of the Ontario Rental Housing Tribunal (OHRT) to the Divisional Court. Discuss fully what rules of natural justice were breached at the ORHT hearing, what were the primary reasons of the Divisional Court in reaching its decision, what was the outcome of the application for judicial review, and whether you agree with the outcome, and on what basis. Your case comment should be organized under the following headings: Facts Issue(s) Analysis [The Divisional Court’s analysis of how the rules of natural justice were breached] Outcome Critique Grades are based on the quality of the assignment. Clear, concise writing, proper grammar, correct sentence structure and proper use of paragraphs are all key components of this assignment. The assignment must be typed, 12 font, and 1½ spaces. You must ensure that the pages are numbered. You may use headings where you feel they are appropriate. There is a related issue dealing with whether an administrative tribunal could grant a motion for a non-suit where the applicant did not establish the basic elements of his or claim (a prima facie case). The tribunal found it did have such power. However, you are NOT to include this issue in your case comment.
