Read the article

"The petition seeks a judicial order declaring Robertson and Meggs unfit for office under section 115 of the Vancouver Charter. In the alternative, petitioners seek “a declaration that the respondents are as a result of the facts in a conflict of interest and cannot participate in negotiations with CUPE 1004,” and can’t vote on any collective agreement with the union. The petitioners are represented by David Wotherspoon, a Vancouver corporate lawyer and parter with Fasken Martineau with the reputation of a clever and aggressive litigator, according to the firm’s website."
