J.L. McDougall successfully argues case for The Canadian Wheat Board
August 2 2007
FMC's J.L. McDougall, who, with the assistance of Brian Leonard and Matt Fleming, successfully argued the case of The Canadian Wheat Board v. Attorney General of Canada. The Federal Court announced yesterday that regulations made by the federal government, which removed barley from the marketing authority of the Canadian Wheat Board, were contrary to the provisions of the Canadian Wheat Board Act and were therefore unlawful.
FMC has represented the Board in achieving great success in this very high-profile case. The decision and the events leading up to it have received widespread media coverage, particularly in Western Canada.
Invaluable research assistance was provided by Tim Banks, Brianna Davies and summer student, Adrienne Silk.
