A Sweda victory

There is word that Justice Peter Lauwers has approved the Sweda Farms Ltd. application to join the court cases involving L.H. Gray and Son Ltd., Burnbrae Farms Ltd. and the Egg Farmers of Ontario marketing board.

Lawyers for the three argued strenuously in Durham District Court recently to keep the cases separate, arguing that the evidence of conspiracy among the three is weak.

Next on the court agenda is deciding how much of the treasure trove of electronic files from Gray will be allowed as evidence in the case.
