Court Rules Fort Macleod Mayor Owes the Town for Judicial Review Costs
LETHBRIDGE: The amount is not as much as the Fort Macleod Town Council was seeking but, a Court of Queens Bench judge has ruled the Mayor does owe the Town court costs, resulting from the dismissal of a judicial review application.
The town was seeking $100,000, while the court set the reimbursement at $9,750.
Town Mayor, Rene Gendre, applied to the Court of Queens bench to set aside sanctions against him passed by Fort Macleod Town Council in 2014, which removed his powers as Mayor. However, his application was dismissed.
Dismissal of the sanction challenge resulted in the Town’s Council seeking court costs from Gendre, on behalf of the community.
