 Edmonton Court, Queens Bench – Friday November 4, 2011 @ 2:00 PM –   
Lawsuit-Elder Advocates of Alberta Society et al vs. Crown et al   

      Application by Alberta Health Services (AHS) to appeal the decision of the Alberta Court of Appeal which held that
Alberta Health Services owed a duty of care to monitor, supervise and administer the Accommodation fees

Now, well outside the limitation date for appealing that decision, AHS in effect, wants to appeal the decision. 
We view this application as an abuse of process. 
Madam Justice Sheila Grekol presiding.

Based on that small hallway, a building of 120 senior patients, the facility owners would gross $2,137,440.00 annually.

A lucrative rental business.
