Babbar v. Tarion Warranty Corporation

Direct answer

What happened in this matter?

The tribunal dismissed the appellant's claim after he failed to provide copies or verifiable citations for two legal authorities (Bastide v. Tarion and Hirsch v. Tarion) he relied upon. The adjudicator explicitly stated they were unable to locate these cases, and the appellant's failure to provide documentation prevented their assessment.

Why the court cared
The adjudicator excluded the cited cases because they could not be located and the appellant failed to provide copies or neutral citation numbers, preventing the tribunal from assessing their relevance to the warranty claim.

Why this matter is tracked

In this Licence Appeal Tribunal matter, the appellant, Sanjay Babbar, appealed a decision by Tarion Warranty Corporation denying compensation for alleged defects in kitchen cabinetry and a balcony support post. During the hearing, the appellant attempted to introduce two reports—a 2019 Auditor General report and an Ontario Ombudsman report—and two legal decisions, Bastide v. Tarion Warranty Corporation (2017) and Hirsch v. Tarion Warranty Corporation (2014), to support his claims. The adjudicator excluded the reports for failure to comply with filing deadlines and noted that the appellant could not provide copies or citation numbers for the cited cases, rendering them unverifiable. The tribunal ultimately dismissed the appeal, finding the appellant failed to establish a breach of warranty regarding the cabinetry or the structural integrity of the balcony post.
