How many minutes can a defendant delay access to a plaintiff's property?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Vale Inco Ltd. v. Rae, 2009 CanLII 66387 (ON SC):
In the present circumstances, I do not agree with the defendants that I should specify a certain number of minutes during which the defendants may delay access to the plaintiff’s property. The defendants have no entitlement at law to delay ingress and egress “for a moment”: A.G. Canada v. Gillehan et al., Montgomery J., September 16, 1991, file # 91-CQ-4258. The parties are free to agree or not as to whether any person or vehicle will be delayed, on such terms as they may negotiate.
