Calgary Judge gives Stephans five days to complete applications for court-ordered legal aid
LETHBRIDGE – David and Collet Stephan have failed to submit two applications for court-ordered legal aid.
Appearing via telephone from their new home near Grande Prairie, David Stephan told the court he was initially optimistic he and his wife could have the applications completed, however because of several delays, they couldn’t manage it.
“Well, I gave you two weeks from our last date…they were to have been filed two weeks after Nov. 8. So that takes us… so they were to be filed a week ago,” said Madame Justice Elizabeth Hughes.
Stephan told Justice Hughes he misunderstood, and that he believed the couple had three weeks to file. Delays during the moving process prevented them from doing so.
