Exeter to appeal
ruling from Ontario
Supreme Court
The Town of Exeter announced
last week it will appeal an Ontario
Supreme Court decision that said it
must pay for planning services
from the County of Huron.
The town had launched the court
case claiming it shouldn’t have to
pay for planning costs since it had
hired its own planning specialist.
That split had grown out of a
dispute between Exeter and a
neighbouring township in which
the county planning department
had acted on behalf of both sides
and the town was not happy with
the results. Exeter sought to with
hold $19,000 from its $378,534 levy
to the county.
At one point in that long dispute
Exeter Mayor Bruce Shaw had
threatened to have his town secede
from the county. In recent years
relations have smoothed and
Mayor Shaw said last week he
hoped the appeal wouldn’t set back
the improving relationship.
The principle of the issue was too
important not to be challenged, he
said. When the Supreme Court
ruled Exeter must pay for planning
from the county even if it didn’t use
it, it was setting up the county as a
senior level of government, not as a
partner. It would in effect set up
county government as a form of
regional government, he said. “We
think all municipalities have some
thing at stake here,” he said.
Representing the town in its
appeal is lawyer Michael Mitchell
(the same lawyer used by the
village of Blyth recently) who said
the appeal will be filed with the
Ontario court of appeal. He said
there were a number of grounds of
appeal of the decision by Mr.
Justice Nicholson McRae. “Our
concern is if this is not clarified it
will mean that from a practical
standpoint regional government is
here without any legislation,” he
said.

Cause of the fire according to the
