Fifteen Mount Allison University students have to move by Feb. 13 because their apartment building in Sackville was not zoned to be used as apartments.
The Town of Sackville brought the matter to civil court because it claims the owner of the historic former mansion committed a zoning infraction and was doing work on the building without the proper permit.
Justice Darrell Stephenson presided over the proceedings in Moncton on Friday by phone.
