NORTHERN SUPERIOR REPORTS ON PROGRESS OF ITS $110 MILLION LAWSUIT AGAINST GOVERNMENT OF ONTARIO
Northern Superior Resources Inc. has provided the following progress on the company's $110-million lawsuit against the government of Ontario.
- Since the appointment at the company's request of a judge to manage its case against the Ontario government, lawyers for Northern Superior and the government of Ontario have attended three case conferences before Mr. Justice Lederer of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.
- As a result of these case conferences, various outstanding procedural issues have now been resolved and the case can now move to the next stage.
- Northern Superior obtained further documentation previously undisclosed by the Ontario government, and on Aug. 21, 2014, delivered its final reply in response to the Ontario government's "fresh and amended statement of defence" (copies of all pleadings can be found on Northern Superior's website under the heading claim.
- Northern Superior and the Ontario government have agreed that in addition to managing procedural aspects of the court action, Justice Lederer will also hear and rule on the merits of the case.
As the next stage in this process, Northern Superior has given notice of its intention to bring a motion before Justice Lederer for decision on several key issues, central to the case. It is expected that a timetable leading up to a hearing on these issues in late 2014 or early 2015 will be set in mid-September.
Northern Superior will keep its shareholders apprised of developments as they occur.
