The applicant, a councillor of the Piikani Nation facing a removal petition, brought an application for judicial review of the council's decision to refer the petition to the Removal Appeal Board.
The respondent brought a motion to stay the application on the basis that it was premature.
The Federal Court granted the motion to stay, finding that the administrative process had not yet been exhausted and there were no exceptional circumstances justifying an immediate intervention before the Board issued its final decision.
