Fisher v Prince Edward Island (Minister of Environment, Labour and Justice), 2013 PESC 27.
Fisher was the owner of rental property on which an oil spill took place that he claimed was the result of vandalism to the fuel line by a former tenant. The Minister of Environment ordered Fisher to clean up the oil spill but Fisher refused, citing cost and that he was not at fault. The Minister hired outside contractors for cleanup, and billed Fisher for these services. Fisher refused to pay, and made application for judicial review of the Minister’s Order to pay the costs of clean up.
