Greenbelt developer challenges law reversing protected land plan
Minotar Holdings Inc filed a constitutional challenge in Ontario Divisional Court over the Greenbelt Statute Law Amendment Act. Lawyers argue the legislation adopts a rule of law flaw by moving protections from regulation to statute, blocking judicial review of Greenbelt changes. The case follows years of disputes on 15 parcels in Markham and related settlements linked to a 2017 suit for 120 million.
