The appellant sought to quash a municipal by-law renaming a public square, arguing that the city council held closed meetings in violation of the Municipal Act.
The Court of Appeal found that while the council failed to pass a sufficient resolution before going into closed session and conducted an unauthorized vote, these were procedural irregularities.
Because the final decision to pass the by-law was made after lengthy debate at an open public meeting, the by-law was not tainted by illegality.
The appeal was dismissed.
