Lawyers complete introductory arguments at judicial review

Lawyers acting on behalf of Georgian Bay Milk Company has just completed their introductory arguments in their efforts to overturn the ruling of former Ontario Agriculture Minister Helen Johns.

In summer of 2003, Johns ruled Georgian Bay Milk Company could not continue to export milk because of a World Trade Organization challenge.

Chris Birch, president of Georgian Bay Milk Company, subsequently initiated a judicial review, which is being heard in the Superior Court of Ontario today in Toronto.

The court has set aside three days to hear submissions from Geogian Bay's lawyers Afleck, Greene and Orr, the Attorney General of Ontario and Dairy Farmers of Ontario.
