- Parties: The applicants were Magic Palace, Stanley Myiow, and Barry Alfred. The respondents were the Kahnawà:ke Gaming Commission and Mohawk Council of Kahnawa:ke. 

- Subject Matter: In this notice of preliminary motion, the applicants sought an extension of time for the judicial review of two Kahnawà:ke Gaming Commission decisions. The decisions dismissed the applicants’ various requests for a fair hearing and documentary disclosure, maintained the suspension of Magic Palace’s poker room licence, and effectively barred further challenge. The applicants alleged that the respondents violated their obligations, untenably deadlocked the applicants, and violated basic hallmarks of natural justice and procedural fairness. The applicants also argued that the interests of justice favoured an extension of time, a hearing of this application, and a suspension of the proceedings. This case is ongoing. 

- Date: The hearing was set on Feb. 18, 2025. 

- Venue: This was a federal case before the Federal Court. 

- Amount: No financial award was specified.
