Huron County Couple Receive Judge's Ruling On K2 Challenge

Another setback for a Huron County couple in their bid to pursue legal action against K2 Wind Energy.

In Superior Court in Goderich back in January, Shawn and Trish Drennan argued their Charter rights had been violated by the operation of the K2 Wind Energy project north of Goderich.

An earlier claim had been rejected because the project was not up and running, but Drennan argued that now that it is, he had a legitimate claim.

In a ruling released late Thursday, the judge acknowledged the sincerity and passion with which the Drennans pursued their claim, but concluded the relief they were seeking is not available through this action.

In reacting to the decision Friday, Shawn Drennan says K2 had fought to have the entire Statement of Claim thrown out, but the judge ruled that while the Constitutional Claim be stopped, the Drennans still had a valid Negligence Nuisance Claim.

The judge suggested if they wanted to amend their original claim, they could at some point proceed with the amended claim.

Drennan says he and his wife will sit down soon and decide what their next step will be.
