Decision in Raitt tonight

Mon. Jun 8 - 6:32 PM

A judge will rule this evening on whether The Chronicle Herald can publish a story involving the former communications director for federal Natural Resources Minister Lisa Raitt.

Jasmine MacDonnell, who resigned the position last week, was in Nova Scotia Supreme Court today seeking an injunction against a story by Stephen Maher, chief of the Herald's Ottawa bureau, that is ready to be published.

Justice Gerald Moir granted a temporary publication ban on the details of the hearing until he gives his decision tonight.

The hearing started shortly after 2 p.m. and went until about 4:50 p.m.

"Go enjoy a nice supper and I'll see you back here at 7 o'clock," Justice Moir said in reserving his decision.
