Proposed Changes to the Ontario Land Tribunal Rules of Practice and Procedure

On August 20, 2024, the Ontario Land Tribunal (“OLT” or “Tribunal”) launched consultations on proposed changes to its Rules of Practice and Procedure (the “Proposed Rules”). Consultations ran from August 20 to September 27, 2024. On October 1, the Tribunal announced it was reviewing the feedback received during consultation and would provide further details once that review was complete.  

While at time of writing the Tribunal has not provided such details, it is widely expected that any further changes would be minor in nature. The following changes are likely to modernize and streamline procedures before the Tribunal, while providing further clarity to the Tribunal’s authority and jurisdiction in expropriation proceedings.
