Government serves written argument in Senate Vacancies appeal

On July 28, 2015, the Appellants’ Memorandum of Fact and Law was served in accordance with Rule 346(1) of the Federal Courts Rules on behalf of the Prime Minister and Governor General.

The government’s written argument relates to the appeal of the Federal Court’s decision of May 21, 2015 in which Justice Sean Harrington declined the government’s request to dismiss the judicial review proceeding before a hearing on its merits.

The respondent (Aniz Alani) must serve and file a responding Memorandum of Fact and Law within 30 days in accordance with Rule 346(3).

No hearing dates have been set for either the appeal of the dismissal of the motion to strike or the application for judicial review on its merits.
