WRIGHT J

1. The applicants in the main application, Idola and Twin City Realty sought urgent relief against the City and related respondents on 25 May 2023. In short, the restoration of municipal services and related relief was sought. During argument, counsel for Idola and Twin City Realty trimmed substantially the relief sought on an urgent basis. I granted a limited interim order in favour of Idola and Twin City Realty, providing for the restoration of services against payment.  A typed, signed judgment was handed down on the same day. This judgment is to be read with that judgment.
