City of Oshawa Statement: Canadian Flight Academy Litigation
The Canadian Flight Academy litigation matter was on the trial list for the Fall 2023 sittings, which took place from November 20, 2023 to December 8, 2023. While the parties were ready to proceed with trial, by the time there was a judge available, there was not enough time remaining during the trial sittings to complete the trial. As a result, on December 4, 2023, Regional Senior Justice Edwards ordered that the trial be adjourned to May 13, 2024 as a back-up to a criminal trial being resolved. If that date does not become available from the court office, then the matter will remain on the running trial list with priority to be called for trial during the May 2024 trial sittings, which commence on May 21, 2024.
A copy of Justice Edwards’ Endorsement is accessible to the public at the courthouse (Court File CV-20-921-00 / CV-22-560-00).
The City is disappointed that the trial was unable to proceed and remains prepared to go to trial. The City remains committed to having the trial of this matter completed as soon as possible.
