Tansi/Good Day Readers:

Lead counsel Anders Bruun was more than capably assisted by Mr. Jeffrey J. Niederhoffer (Ext. 224; jniederhoffer@campbellmarr.com) in defending Yvon Dumont against a lawsuit initiated by The Metis National Council Secretariat and President Clem Chartier on behalf of the Metis National Council. It was alleged Mr. Dumont owes MNCS slightly more than $47,000 plus interest and damages for allegedly breaching a contract stipulating he not engage in Metis politics for two years after leaving as MNC's Metis Nation Governor. The Honourable W. Yvon Dumont ran in the controversial 2003 MMF election. Counselor Murray Norman Trachtenberg acted on behalf of the Plaintiffs.

Justice Menzies heard the case which concluded April 28, 2006. We're still awaiting his written decision.
