The Ontario Superior Court of Justice released a decision on May 19th following the hearing of the town and Mann's motion on December 18th last year. Mann's application substantially sought judicial review of Council's 2022 decisions declaring lands surplus and confirming the bylaw and long-term lease agreements associated with the Cedar Crescent Village developed by Port Elgin's Maine Beach. The court granted the town's motion to strike the application and dismissed it, finding Man's application was an abusive process in light of the terms of a 2023 settlement between the parties. The court also ruled Man's application was started outside of the time limitation period.
