Update on Legal Proceedings
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 25, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Canada Carbon Inc. (the “Company”) (TSX-V:CCB), (FF:U7N1) wishes to provide a further update on the Court of Appeal hearing of May 17th, 2019 and the Company’s press release of May 21st, 2019.
The Court of Appeal has determined that after reading the briefs of both parties, the Appeal Court judges now wish to hear from the parties on the question of jurisdiction on August 28th, 2019. If the Court determines that it does have jurisdiction, it will then decide if the Turcotte judgment was well founded in concluding that the Company’s damage claim is not a SLAPP action.
On Friday July 19th, 2019, the Company presented a motion in the Superior Court to have its Judicial review heard by preference. While the Judge acknowledged that it was in the best interest of all parties to obtain a quick resolution to the litigation, given the lack of availability of court time for a trial of our proposed length, the motion was not granted.
