The Supreme Court of British Columbia has dismissed a lawsuit filed by suspended former Metis Nation British Columbia president Clara Morin Dal Col as an abuse of process and a collateral attack.
“I’m happy that this part of the court case is over and MNBC is moving forward,” said MNBC Regional Director Deb Fisher. With Morin Dal Col expected to appeal, Fisher was unable to comment much further on the court’s decision. Morin Dal Col’s lawsuit concerned two motions passed by the MNBC board this past January; one of which temporarily suspended her with pay.
