Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Yorke et. al. v. Harris, 2020 ONSC 7361 (CanLII):

An application may only be made within six weeks after the applicant became aware of the alleged contravention: see s. 8(2) of the MCIA. The strict time limit in the Act is meant to protect elected officials and ensure that applications are brought on a timely basis: see Hervey v. Morris, 2013 ONSC 956, 9 M.P.L.R. (5th) 96.
