The matter relates to an application for a protection order lodged by the resident, who accused the mayor of harassment and abuse of power in connection with an alleged land use violation.

The resident is allegedly running an illegal chop shop in a residential area, which sparked a complaint.

The mayor was legally represented in court and did not attend the proceedings in person.
