The following excerpt is from Renée v. Toronto Police Services Board, 2019 ONSC 1211 (CanLII):
When a party seeks to restrain a public authority from exercising its statutory powers and performing its statutory obligations, a court must take a larger view of the balance of convenience factor than it would in another case because the public interest is affected: Fort William Indian Band v. Thunder Bay (City), [2005] O. J. No. 100 at para. 66.
