Skakun Appeals Decision
Prince George, B.C. – Prince George City Councillor Brian Skakun has filed an appeal into the decision of Mr. Justice Crawford in which the judge dismissed an application by Skakun seeking an order preventing the city from holding a hearing on censure and sanctions into his leaking of a confidential report to the media.
Mr. Justice Crawford issued his decision on October 13th of this year. The Notice of Appeal was filed with the BC Court of Appeal in Vancouver on November 14th.
In handing down his ruling, Mr. Justice Crawford said that since Councillor Skakun has admitted to his court and to that of of Judge Ball that he leaked the confidential Heller report to the CBC, it would be expected that "Council would not sit idly by when a Councillor has admitted to misconduct."
On October 21st at a special council meeting, Councillor Skakun issued the following statement,
