Court Rules Municipality Responsible For Boulevards, Sidewalks & Roads - North Huron Rejects Ruling & To Spend $200,000+ To Fight All The Way To the Supreme Court Of Canada
Source: WFPDate: Sun Aug 11 06:48:19 MST 2019
A ruling in the case of Bongiardina v. Vaughan (City) clearly declared that a Municipality can not transfer liability or responsibility of sidewalks, boulevards or roads to a private citizen. North Huron disagrees with this Court Of Appeal For Ontario decision, and is apparently willing to spend $200,000+ in legal fees to challenge it in the Supreme Court Of Canada. This will be to prove a Municipality doesn�t have to maintain it�s infrastructure as prescribed in the Ontario Municipal Act.
It has already been proven in Ontario courts that a Municipality must maintain all their roads, sidewalks and boulevards. For North Huron to change this, they must take a case past the Court Of Appeal For Ontario all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada, an extremely costly endeavor.
North Huron council is apparently budgeting $200,000+ in legal fees to go to the Supreme Court of Canada so they don�t have to confront town staff regarding the neglect of infrastructure, and gross negligence by endangering Citizens by purposely blocking sidewalks in the winter.
