IN THE MATTER OF LABOURVIEW CO-OPERATIVE HOMES

SUPERIOR COURT OF JUSTICE - ONTARIO - Divisional Court - Court File No.: 135/07 - Date: 2007-08-13 - Heard: May 28, 2007


Between: Labourview Co-operative Homes Inc. and Krista Burk (Applicants) - and- The Corporation of the Municipality of Chatham-Kent and Horwath Orenstein Inc., in its capacity as a Receiver and Manager of Labourview Co-operative Homes Inc. (Respondents)


Before the Hon. Justice Lane, Jennings And Brockenshire  

BY THE COURT:

[38] "For these reasons, we conclude that, no "triggering event" having occurred, Chatham-Kent had no jurisdiction to intervene in the management of the Labourview Co-operative, and its decision to do so must be quashed In view of this decision, it is not necessary to consider the other grounds raised by the applicants, based on whether the receivership was a reasonable response to the facts, and whether the rules of procedural fairness were breached."


DECISION

[39] "We grant the application for judicial review, and as requested grant an order: i) quashing the decision made by Chatham-Kent to appoint the receiver over Labourview pursuant to s. 116(1) of the SHRA; ii) declaring that a receiver and manager over Labourview is not justified under the SHRA and discharging the receiver."


Please note that the 10-page or 39 paragraph Court decision can't be reviewed at CanLii.org at this point-in-time.

CHF Canada media release

August 31, 2005

"The Co-op was put in recievership by the Chatham-Kent service manager in October 2006. The reason given for the recievership was that the co-op had an "accumulated deficit that was material and excessive having regard to the normal practices of similar providers." This is a "triggering event" (grounds for action) under the Social Housing Reform Act."


"In a unanimous decision issued on August 13 three judges in Ontario's Divisional Court quashed the recievership and granted an order "declaring that a reciever or a reciever and manager over Labourview is not justified under the SHRA and discharging the reciever". The decision put an immediate end to the recievership."
