Law professor would be ‘surprised’ if High Court takes case of B.C. Paul Daly, the university’s research chair in administrative law and governance, said it has been “misreported” that the High Court granted a stay on the cull. Daly said only one of the court’s judges granted an interim stay of the cull order for the flock at Universal Ostrich Farms in southeastern B.C. in order to give all nine members a chance to consider the farm’s bid to have the cull stayed and the case heard. The farm’s co-owner, Karen Espersen, was arrested last week alongside her daughter, Katie Pasitney, after the pair refused to leave the ostrich enclosure.
