Penticton Herald - Smoking Tenants Ruling by B.C. Supreme Court Justice John Harvey

 

"A Coquitlam family of three has successfully overturned a ruling which upheld their landlord’s eviction over a cigarette smoking dispute.

On April 8, B.C. Supreme Court Justice John Harvey found the Residential Tenancy Branch’s (RTB) November 2023 decision to ratify a one-month eviction notice against Kurban Malik, Rashna Malik, and Sabrina Malik lacked sufficient legal grounding.

He said the landlord and the RTB failed to clearly establish the smoking amounted to a “significant interference or unreasonable disturbance” to other tenants. 

“Both the petitioner and the court are left to guess about how and why the RTB arbitrator reached the decision,” Harvey said. “I find that the reasons … are inadequate and that the decision, including the order to vacate and order for possession, must therefore be set aside.”

Final arguments in case challenging Qalipu band enrolment criteria expected next week

One of the founders of the movement that led to the creation of Qalipu First Nation says he was booted from the band after enrolment criteria changed — and he argues the controversy over membership is antithetical to his original vision.

In 1972, John Oliver helped form the Federation of Newfoundland Indians, the organization that fought for recognition of Mi'kmaq in Newfoundland and eventually led to the creation of Qalipu First Nation in 2008.

"As an aboriginal it was very important to get recognized," explained Oliver, who appeared by video in Newfoundland and Labrador Supreme Court on Tuesday. He successfully applied to join the band in 2011."

"First it started out pretty good.…  Then it all changed."
