Starlight Investments v Burns, 2021 CanLII 147971 (ON LTB)

2. For the following reasons, I find that the Landlord’s request for review should be granted. The Landlord’s legal representative says that they did not receive notice for the November 16, 2020, hearing. The Board’s records indicate that a notice of hearing was sent by email to a paralegal who may, or may not, have been the Landlord’s legal representative at the time. At the review hearing, the Landlord’s legal representative explained that, at the time, the Landlord’s ownership was in a state of flux and it was not overly clear who was representing the Landlord at the relevant time. I would also note that it is not clear from the Board’s records whether a notice of hearing was sent to the Landlord’s legal representative by mail.

3. Based on the evidence before me, I am satisfied on the balance of probabilities that the Landlord did not receive notice of the November 16, 2020, hearing and was not reasonably able to participate. For these reasons, I find that the Landlord’s request for review should be granted.
