What is the test for a landlord who alleges that he has been unable to close a real estate transaction for the past year?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Chalich v. Alhatam, 2020 ONSC 2569 (CanLII):

The landlord cites the loss of a real estate closing. I find the landlord’s evidence is speculative, and the landlord has not met his burden of establishing irreparable harm or urgent and compelling circumstances. The evidence of harm must be definite rather than speculative: Grant v. Grant, 2020 ONSC 2455. I find the landlord’s evidence speculative.
