At various times, certain City Councillors, and some other supporters of the deal between the City of Ottawa and Ottawa Sports & Entertainment Group, have suggested that the legal action taken by the Friends of Lansdowne is without merit and will be easily dismissed by the Courts. Although the Superior Court ruling was pretty quick, this is not proving to be the case for the appeal.
The appeal was heard by the Ontario Court of Appeal on November 28, 2011. Today, March 6 means we are in the fifteenth week of deliberation by the three judges who heard the appeal. Of course the Courts are busy and there may be any number of reasons that a decision has not yet been rendered.
But I think it is safe to say that, every day that goes by, the Friends become more optimistic (and maybe, just maybe, the City and OSEG become slightly more anxious).
