The Last KI Contemnor-John Cutfeet

In the euphoria of the Court of Appeal win most have forgotten former KI Band Council member John Cutfeet.John, who was a leading spokesperson for KI up until the fall of 2007, was charged with contempt but chose to challenge the contempt finding.He is scheduled to appear in court in Thunder Bay on June 24th in the first of many motions potentially leading up to a Constitutional challenge of the contempt rules.

John's lawsuit could change the clearly inadequate rules that allowed the Superior Court judges to jail the KI6 and Bob Lovelace.When your liberty is at stake the law must provide a process that errs on the side of the accused rather than simply allowing the offended party(the judge) to simply jail you with minimal process concerns.

With the May 28th ruling of the Court of Appeal the obvious solution would be for Platinex to simply abandon their legal pursuit of John.

Will the Platinex shareholders never tire of this futile paper chase?Somehow I doubt it.
