You're correct! My bad.

appeals that are already before the Ontario Municipal Board as of the date of Royal Assent of Bill 139 would be subject to the existing rules and would be heard by the Ontario Municipal Board;
appeals made after the new rules come into force would be subject to the new rules and heard by the new Local Planning Appeal Tribunal;
appeals of matters between the date of Royal Assent and the date that the new rules are proclaimed into force:
o would be heard by the Ontario Municipal Board if the planning matter began (e.g. the complete application was received) before the date of Royal Assent; and
o would be heard by the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal if the planning matter began afterthe date of Royal Assent.
The question then is whether this one is one of those rushed applications brought in before Dec 12 2017?
