The applicant sought an interlocutory injunction to suspend the March 29, 2021 decision by the band council to cancel the scheduled April 4, 2021 election.
The court found that the applicant had established a strong prima facie case that the cancellation decision was made without broad community consensus, causing irreparable harm through the disenfranchisement of voters.
The balance of convenience favoured the applicant.
The injunction was granted, suspending the cancellation and ordering the election process to resume.
