Blood Council denied stay of proceeding

Page R1

An appeal the Blood Tribal Council for a stay of proceedings on four charges of contempt of court has been denied the Federal Court in Calgary.

The charges rise from the ongoing dispute on the reserve between Chief Harley Frank and the tribal council. The council was charged after blocking Frank's attempts to conduct band business, and for the illegal election of former chief Roy Fox.

Frank was illegally ousted the council this spring. Peter Levesque, lawyer for Chief Frank, said the case will be heard on Nov. 4.
