Province’s arguments to get out of Broncos bus crash lawsuit delayed
On Wednesday morning, lawyers for the Government of Saskatchewan were supposed to start arguments to strike them from a list of defendants in a lawsuit over the Humboldt Broncos bus crash in 2018.
But another suit on the same issue is pushing things back.
Before things could get underway Wednesday, lawyers from an as-yet-uncertified class action petitioned Justice Donald Layh to adjourn the proceedings.
The class-action lawyers claimed the result of the hearing, over the inclusion of the provincial government as a defendant, could have an effect on their case. So the lawyers argued to be heard in the strike application so that it’s only heard once.
