The Supreme Court stayed a hearing on the Petition, a court document filed this summer aimed at ousting four members of Greenwood City Council. The court’s decision was outlined in a letter to the city from Barry Williamson of Young Anderson Barristers and Solicitors. In it, Williamson summarized Justice Peter Rogers ruling that the petition was not in compliance with the Community Charter Section 111, and consequently was inadmissable. However, the petitioners do retain the option of rewriting the petition so that it complies with the charter and submitting the revised document to the court. “The status of the petition following Justice Rogers’ ruling, is that it is stayed until the deficiency in the initial proceeding has been remedied,” Williamson said. “While we understand Mr. Yates is interested in reserving a date for a hearing of the petition grounds, in our view this would be premature until a petition in proper form has been filed by the petitioners.” The letter, which is now on public record at City Hall, also included several paraphrased descriptions of Justice Peter Rogers’ findings during the proceedings. “While Exhibit ‘A’ to the affidavit filed by Mr. (Christopher) Yates is a petition signed by 26 individuals in support of the petition,” Williamson wrote, “they are not named as petitioners in the petition itself.
