Ojohome Canada Ltd. v. CREA / TRREB (2025, Ont. Sup. Ct.) — TRREB terminated IDX access Oct 2024; CREA restricted DDF Dec 2024; site cut from ~54,000 to ~11,500 listings; injunction to restore access denied
Summary
Claim. Ojohome Canada Ltd. v. CREA / TRREB (2025, Ont. Sup. Ct.): a brokerage that allegedly regained IDX access "through subterfuge" (different name/web address) had access terminated by TRREB (Oct 2024); CREA then restricted its DDF feed (Dec 2024), cutting its site from ~54,000 to ~11,500 listings. The court denied the brokerage's injunction to restore access.

Confidence. Verified.
Caveats. "Allegedly regained through subterfuge" is the board's characterisation; the merits remain to be tried. The injunction denial does not finally decide whether the terminations were lawful.
Implication / use. Decisive evidence that boards/CREA actively police feed eligibility and will cut off non-compliant feed recipients. Feed-eligibility risk is ongoing. Anchors the operational fragility caveat in any product model.
