The Tribunal is launching consultations on changes to its Rules of Practice and Procedure to enhance the way land-related appeals are managed in Ontario, making services more efficient and accessible.

The Tribunal is introducing a mandatory requirement for municipalities and other approval authorities to forward appeals through the newly launched e-file portal ― an integrated platform that simplifies the appeal filing process.

Other changes include:

• Outlining the process for Expropriation Costs;
• Requiring parties requesting a review of a Tribunal decision to serve the request on all parties; and,
• Expanding the list of appeal types where sheltering is applicable.

The full suite of proposed changes and revisions to OLT Rules is now posted for consultation
