Ezra Manouvers

From Joe Brean's twitter feed, the rumours are confirmed:

O yea, O yea, O yea, court is in session. First up, motion to adjourn. At this rate, we'll hear opening statements next year.

Ezra Levant has been trying to get a new lawyer since October. Christopher Ashby, his lawyer of record, is beside him. No explanation.

Khurrum Awan opposes the adjournment. Judge says he has "significant justification" to throw away his costs.

Brian Shiller says his client Mr. Awan "vigorously opposes" adjournment. "We were ready to go [last fall]," he said. Ready again now.

Same nonsense Ezra tried in Vigna v. Levant.  Lets hope the judge doesn't allow it.

Update: Crap, he did!  But he seems to dinged The Ez for some dough:

Levant trial adjourned to March 3. Cost him a few bucks. Iain MacKinnon, known for media work in the Rob Ford follies, is his new counsel.
