The following excerpt is from Collins v. Thunder Bay (City), 2005 CanLII 609 (ON SC):
When a public authority is retrained from exercising its statutory powers and performing its statutory obligations a court must take a larger view of the balance of convenience factor than it would in another case because the public interest is affected. (Goebel v. Edmonton (City), [2004] A.J. No. 193)
