The court case against Qulliq Energy Corp. under Nunavut’s Safety Act has been adjourned for two weeks while lawyers continue to work on a possible resolution.
“My friend and I are having discussions regarding a resolution. We’re working through that,” said lawyer John D. Cliffe, who is leading the prosecution against QEC and participated virtually in court in Iqaluit on Monday.
Cliffe and Jennifer King, the counsel for Nunavut’s energy provider, requested a two-week adjournment to finalize details of a potential resolution. The adjournment was granted by Justice Vital Ouellette.
