A judge has extended a special court order freezing the assets of a prominent Alberta separatist as part of an ongoing trust fund dispute with a First Nation.
Last week, Justice Michael Marion in Calgary granted a temporary injunction freezing up to $8.5 million in assets held by Jeffrey Rath.
It’s part of an ongoing legal battle between Rath and Tallcree First Nation over control of a multimillion-dollar trust fund.
The northern Alberta First Nation alleges Rath, its former lawyer, misappropriated millions from the fund.
