Dennis v Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada

Counsel to the Canadian Wheat Board in successfully defending a proposed class proceeding brought by former grain producers in the Federal Court and the Manitoba Court of Queen’s Bench, arising from the farmers’ relationship with the Board. The Manitoba Court of King’s Bench granted summary judgment in favour of our client and dismissed the class action in its entirety. The Court found that the farmers’ relationship with the Canadian Wheat Board was purely statutory, not contractual, and that in any event the Board had acted in accordance with the Canada Wheat Board Act.
