Bill 5, passed in July 2018, cut the size of Toronto City Council from 47 to 25 members and revoked the city's authority to design its own governing institutions. The Bill was struck down by Superior Court Justice Mr. Edward Belobaba in September 2018. A few days later, a panel of judges from the Ontario Court of Appeal stayed Mr. Belobaba's ruling pending a full appeal of his decision. On September 19 2019, the Court of Appeal, in a 3-2 decision, reversed the lower court decision, upholding Bill 5. The city has appealed and the case is due to be heard at the Supreme Court of Canada in March 2021.
