Regina court dismisses case against city manager over homelessness budget
“I think there are some negative involvements for the way we do our democratic government, but then again, legally the decision is taken, and I will say it is legally correct. It’s just unfortunate that’s what the law is with city mangers,” says LeBlanc.Anderson’s lawyer, Milad Alishahi, says he is satisfied and pleased with the decision and says he is glad his client has been vindicated.
On Nov. 23, 2022, an application was filed asking the court to compel the city manager to include the estimated $24 million to end homelessness in the proposed budget.The applicants had argued the city manager is in breach of section 8 of the city manager’s bylaw, which states that the city manager must take direction from the elected members of council.
In response, the counsel for the respondent, Alishahi, argued that the matter before the court was more political than legal, and the legislature should not use the judiciary as a weapon.
