Federal Conservatives are seeking independent legal guidance on how to deal with a request for an appeal of Patrick Brown’s disqualification as a leadership candidate.On Monday, Conservative spokesperson Yaroslav Baran said the party is trying to figure out whether it’s possible to hold an appeal in the case of the Brampton, Ont., mayor, who was expelled from the race for what the party called “serious allegations of wrongdoing.” He did not elaborate on why the issue is in doubt.
In a pair of statements, Mr. Baran said Mr. Brown’s lawyer has submitted an appeal of the disqualification to the party’s dispute resolution appeals committee .
