Maple Lodge loses court case



Maple Lodge Farms Ltd. has reached the end of the road in its legal challenges in New Brunswick.

The Supreme Court of Canada has refused the company’s application for a judicial review of its complaints aimed at securing a supply of chickens for its Nadeau Poultry Ltd. plant in New Brunswick.

The court also ruled that Maple Lodge must shoulder court costs.

Meanwhile construction continues on a rival plant being built by Sunnymel, a partnership between Westco Ltd. and Olymel of Quebec.
