| ==Ontario (Attorney General) v. Nanji, 2020 ONCA 592 (CanLII)==
| |
| [3] By order dated March 19, 2020, Chief Justice Morawetz ordered that “the eviction of residents from their homes pursuant to eviction orders issued by the Landlord and Tenant Board or writs of possession, are suspended” during the suspension of regular court operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic. At the end of June 2020, the Chief Justice advised that a phased resumption of some in-person hearings would begin on July 6, 2020. The AGO brought a motion seeking clarification about the status of future eviction orders. On July 6, 2020, the Chief Justice ordered that the moratorium on evictions – ordered in March 2020 – would end on July 31, 2020.
| |
|
| |
| [11] The order of August 2, 2020 is interlocutory, and this court has no jurisdiction to hear the appeal: Courts of Justice Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. C.43, ss. 6(1)(b), 19(1)(b).
| |
|
| |
| [12] The appeal is quashed. Consequently, there is no need to consider the appellants’ motion for directions.

| [46] Accordingly, I dismiss the motion for a stay. If the matter is to proceed despite this order, one or more case conferences are required to set a process to determine what notice may be required, who will be parties, and whether one or more representation orders ought to be made under Rule 10. Then a schedule for the exchange of material and cross-examinations is required. In light of the numerous parties who attended this hearing and ACTO’s indication that everyone facing an eviction order in Ontario has a right to be heard in this proceeding, I am dubious that a hearing in a few weeks is very likely.
