REASONS FOR JUDGMENT OF THE COURT

(Delivered from the Bench at Toronto, Ontario, on February 9, 2011)

SHARLOW J.A.

[1]   Ridgeview Restaurant Limited is appealing the judgment of Justice Mactavish (2010 FC 506) granting the Crown’s motion to strike Ridgeview’s application for judicial review for want of standing. We agree that Ridgeview lacks standing.

 

[2]   We would add only that Mr. Gibson’s permit does not and does not purport to authorize him to use marihuana in any manner that is contrary to the Liquor Licence Act of Ontario, R.S.O. 1990, c. L. 19, or to engage in any criminal activity, including trafficking marihuana contrary to the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, S.C. 1996, c. 19.

 

[3]   The appeal will be dismissed with costs.
