Court intervention limited

No court shall intervene in matters governed by this Act, except for the following purposes...:

To assist the conducting of arbitrations.

To ensure that arbitrations are conducted in accordance with arbitration agreements.

To prevent unequal or unfair treatment of parties to arbitration agreements.

On 2017.05.10, I filed an application with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice for enforcement of the Arbitration Act.

I am not “suing” Pride Toronto. I am asking the court to rule that I have been treated unfairly, in contravention of §6 of the Arbitration Act. The remedy flowing from that ruling is an order that Pride Toronto must speedily begin and finish the steps I asked for in my DRP complaint against Black Lives Matter Toronto.

The full text of the application is as follows, and yes, it really is this short.

Application under the Arbitration Act, 1991

The Act states, at §6:

This application is kept as short as possible because the issues are straightforward, because the requested remedies are modest, and to increase the chances that the Court will issue a decision before the 2017 Pride parade (25 June 2017).
