A lawyer who claims to represent a handful disenfranchised members of the Ontario Progressive Conservative party is seeking an injunction to extend the party's ongoing leadership race by one week. A judge heard the injunction application at a University Ave. courthouse on Friday, and was expected to rule after 5 p.m. John Nunziata, a lawyer and former Liberal MP, made the announcement Thursday night via Twitter. Jeffrey Radnoff, an associate of his, handled the case in Superior Court before Justice Todd Archibald. Nunziata claimed that "thousands" of Ontario PC members have been unable to log on to the party's electronic voting system or received membership information in the mail. He mentioned Doug Ford's mother and family members of candidate Tanya Granic Allen as examples. Neither he nor Radnoff said they were aware of any involvement by the Ford campaign in the injunction.
