According to the Toronto Star, the Divisional Court ruled last Tuesday that the Horse Breeders may proceed to question the former premier and his staff about terminating of the revenue-sharing partnership that once existed between the province and the horse-racing industry.
The $65-million lawsuit began in 2014 when the Breeders allege they were dropped from the program without sufficient notice or compensation. They argue that the province was aware that the time to raise a racing horse is significant, between five to seven years, and that the lack of notice damaged their businesses because of money invested in training animals that are no longer profitable.
The opposition from the province has been stiff. The government had sought leave to appeal the court's earlier decision to allow the Breeders to question McGuinty and others through the Divisional Court, but that request was denied.
