| Description | The Court of Appeal for Ontario has granted the province’s request to stay a lower court judge’s decision that set aside a law slashing the size of Toronto city council.
By granting a stay, there will be 25 wards instead of 47 in the upcoming municipal election on Oct. 22 as originally set out in Bill 5, the Better Local Government Act.
The decision was released Wednesday morning after a three-judge panel heard submissions for and against the request from lawyers representing the provincial government, the city of Toronto and several 2018 election candidates on Tuesday at Osgoode Hall. |
