Quesnel Mayor Ron Paull wins court case against City of Quesnel

In a matter that goes back to April of 2024 -- Quesnel Mayor Ron Paull has received a win, via the BC Supreme Court, in which a number of resolutions passed by Quesnel Council back in late April of 2024 were quashed, due to procedural fairness requirements not being met

The full court ruling of Paull v. Quesnel (City) can be reviewed here.  A number of court precedents were quoted including from Barnett v. Cariboo Regional District, R v. Skakun and Dupont v. Port Coquitlam (City)

For his part, Quesnel Mayor Ron Paull says that he is happy with the Court's ruling in this matter.  More from My Cariboo Now here

At this stage -- the City of Quesnel has not issued a formal statement on this matter but it would be able to appeal the decision, if so determined by Quesnel City Council.  Council would have 30 days from the date of ruling to do so -- which would have to occur no later than April 3rd, 2025....
