Gordon & Gordon

In *Gordon & Gordon*, the applicant sought to enforce an order made by the respondent, a statutory body, against the respondent itself. The dispute concerned the respondent's failure to comply with its own prior determination.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether the respondent had acted unlawfully in failing to implement its own decision, and if so, what remedy was available to the applicant.

Judge Wilson found that the respondent had failed to give effect to its own order, which constituted an unlawful failure to perform its statutory duty. The court applied the principle that statutory bodies are bound by their own determinations and must act in accordance with the law. Consequently, the court ordered the respondent to pay the applicant's costs fixed at $3,000.00.
