Brief: Supreme Court decision on fire protection services for CSRD Area B delayed until Dec. 29
Supreme Court Justice Mayer is expected to give his ruling Friday afternoon.
A Supreme Court decision on the ongoing dispute between the Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) and the City of Revelstoke over fire services to parts of CSRD Area B has been delayed until Dec. 29. A court decision was originally expected by the end of the day on Thursday, Dec. 28.
The CSRD has filed an injunction seeking continuation of fire services past a Dec. 31 deadline.
The two government bodies have been unable to reach an agreement over the continued provision of fire services to CSRD areas adjacent to the city.
“Court was adjourned until tomorrow with an oral ruling expected around noon,” Allan Chabot, City of Revelstoke chief administrative officer said in an email to the Mountaineer.
Supreme Court Justice Andrew Mayer is presiding over the hearing in Vancouver.
The Mountaineer will post details on the decision as soon as they become available.
