Brownlee
Appeals to Privy Council
J. E. Brownlee, former
Premier of Alberta and native of Norfolk County, was granted special
leave to appeal
to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council from a judgment of
the Supreme Court of Canada of March 1, which awarded $10,000
damages to Vivian McMillan, formerly his secretary, for alleged
seduction.
Damages were awarded by the
jury in the original trial, but the trial judge refused to enter
judgment.
The jury's award was upheld on appeal.
