Colleagues:

If you think that decision is weird you should have a look at Re Christian Brothers of Ireland in Canada (2000), 47 O.R. (3d) 674 (C.A.) (attached) where the Ontario Court of Appeal abolished, perhaps inadvertently, the charitable purpose trust. Given that the Supreme Court of Canada has on three occasions refused leave to appeal in cases involved in the Christian Brothers litigation, it appears that the case now represents the Ontario law on the exigibility of the assets of charitable trusts.
