REASONS FOR JUDGMENT OF THE COURT

(Judgment delivered from the Bench at Edmonton, Alberta, on September 20, 2004)

NADON J.A.

[1]         We are all of the view that Kelen J. did not err in concluding as he did that the electoral

officer made no reviewable error in refusing to accept Coleen Kootenay's notice of appeal of

July 9, 2002, on the ground that it was not filed within the time prescribed by the Band's Electoral

Regulations.   

[2]               We are also agreed that Mr. Glancy's clients, the Appellants Rachel Jones and Celina

Potts, have no standing to challenge the electoral officer's decision of July 17, 2002.


                                                                             2.

[3]                Consequently, this appeal will be dismissed with costs.

"M. Nadon"
