Attornment - Bias

. Hunt v. Trevisan et al.

In Hunt v. Trevisan et al. (Ont Divisional Ct, 2025) the Divisional Court dismissed an RTA s.210 appeal, here from orders that "terminated his tenancy and ordered that he move out of the rental unit".

Here the court cites law essentially setting up bias allegations on an attornment basis, ie. if not raised at first oppourtunity the right is waived:
[37] Further, Mr. Hunt submits that the Board Member’s conduct raised a reasonable apprehension of bias. This ground is also without merit. By failing to ask the Board Member at the earliest opportunity to recuse herself or to even raise this issue with the Review Member, Mr. Hunt has impliedly waived any right to advance a claim of bias: Stetler v. Ontario (Agriculture, Food & Rural Affairs Appeal Tribunal), 2005 CanLII 24217 (ON CA), [2005] O.J. No. 2817, para. 99.
