Date:

Summary:

In Bali v. Toronto Standard Condominium Corporation No. 1905, the Tribunal denied the applicant's motion to reopen and adjourn proceedings after his case closed due to inactivity. Despite the applicant's explanation for the lack of activity and his request for accommodation due to disability, the Tribunal found the delay prejudicial and inconsistent with the goal of timely dispute resolution. However, the Tribunal allowed the applicant to request reopening of the case until July 31, 2024, subject to further review.
