  • Facts: The case involves Cricket BC, with petitioners challenging the November 2023 Election's delegate and proxy voting practices, alleging they weren't authorized by bylaws.
  • Issue: The legality of delegate voting and proxy use during the election was contested, alongside the eligibility of the elected president.
  • Court's Ruling: The court found significant irregularities in voting practices, affecting the election outcome. A new election was ordered by March 15, 2024, without delegate voting unless bylaws are amended. The election of Mr. Hardat as president was invalidated due to non-compliance with membership requirements.
  • Costs/Damages: Petitioners were awarded court tariff costs, not full indemnity costs, acknowledging their success in proving the election irregularities.
