Holding
The Tribunal's jurisdiction is contested by the interested party, who argues that the landlord had already evicted the tenant at the time of filing the matter. The Tribunal's jurisdiction is dismissed, and the application is dismissed with no order as to costs.
Facts
The applicant was evicted by the landlord in April 2023 and subsequently filed a reference seeking an injunction to prevent the landlord from interfering with their business operations and to continue paying rent.
Issues
- Whether the Tribunal has jurisdiction to determine the reference.
- Whether the landlord can be restrained from interfering with the applicant's business operations while the matter is pending
Reasoning
The court held that the Tribunal lacks jurisdiction due to the eviction of the tenant at the time of filing the matter, and thus the application is dismissed.
Outcome
Application dismissed with no order as to costs
Orders
