THE COURT:           The order of the trial judge is set aside, without costs to any party, per reasons of Pugsley, J.A.; Matthews and Flinn, JJ.A. concurring.          

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Pugsley, J.A.:

I am of the opinion the order of the trial judge must be set aside.  Procedural irregularities respecting the joinder of appropriate parties, as well as the failure to give notice of hearing to one of the interested parties, dictate this disposition.  In the unique circumstances of this case, there should be no costs.

 

 

Pugsley, J.A.

Concurred in:

 

Matthews, J.A.

 

Flinn, J.A.
