Canadian-Manitoba Bar Associations added to distribution list!
Tansi/Good Day Folks:
Re: MMF et al vs. Terry Belhumeur et al
Manitoba Court of Queen's Bench File No. CI05-01-41955
This case (alleged defamation) is attracting considerable attention throughout Manitoba and beyond because of the many potential judicial case precedents and legal grey areas involved.
It also raises the propriety/appropriateness of the federally-provincially funded Manitoba Metis Federation using taxpayer money (annual budget approximately $25 million) to sue private citizens. To date we estimate Counsel for the Plaintiffs' has invoiced well in excess of $100,000!
To view the incredible number of filings by Counselor Murray Norman Trachtenberg, visit the Manitoba Justice webpage (www.jus.gov.mb.ca), click File Number Search and enter CI05-01-41955.
We are pleased to add the names of these Associations to our distribution list for postings which relate to CI05-01-41955.
Sincerely,
Clare L. Pieuk
