Ottawa Supreme Court to hear federal grain delivery case
The Supreme Court of Canada opens hearings on federal powers to compel grain deliveries under the Emergency Transitional Powers Act. The case, from Manitoba courts, tests the Wheat Board and federal government actions to curb speculation by forcing coarser grains to be delivered amid price controls. The dispute stems from J J Nolan's refusal to deliver 40 000 bushels of Harley barley stored in Canada in 1947, and follows an earlier order to sell oats and barley at set prices.
