The defendant was 6230 Mayfield Inc. which is an Ontario registered corporate entity. I believe the property in question is what is known as Airport-Mayfield Parking.

This company was listed as the owner of property legally listed as Part Lot1, Concession 1 formerly Albion which puts it on the north side of Mayfield, east of Airport.
