Superior Court Justice Jaye Hooper granted the municipality’s request to declare Maynard vexatious in an April ruling, which was filed by township solicitors in 2021 in the midst of a protracted court battle.The judge’s ruling cited 23 separate proceedings that Maynard had pursued against the municipality — primarily challenges to municipal planning decisions and bylaws — through various courts and tribunals.
The judge also ordered Maynard to pay the municipality’s legal costs, which were set at $30,000 in a separate court ruling in July. According to Maynard’s application, he is seeking permission to continue two matters in divisional court and a third case in Superior Court, to initiate appeals in two civil lawsuits and is seeking an order permitting him to “quash” three municipal bylaws.Article content
