Season 2 Episode 08: Court of Appeal Trip

About this episode

Alumni recount their experience at the Court of Appeal regarding a stayed civil action against the church and government.

Alumni packed their cars and headed to Regina for their day in court as our stayed civil action was argued before the Court of Appeal. Our legal team: Grant Scharfstein, Samuel Edmondson, Michael Scharfstein, and Christine Libner, faced counsel for the church and the government. During the hearing, the Chief Justices of the Court of Appeal characterized the rationale for staying the civil suit due to a supposed "change in the litigation landscape" as " abstract theory and speculation". Tune in as we share our ongoing saga with the legal system.
