The Conservatives’ decision to remove Brown from the race over an allegation he breached federal financing laws has left party brass preparing for what could be a lengthy lawsuit. Last week, Henein wrote to the party's top brass requesting its dispute resolution appeal committee be convened and that an appeal date be set, asking to hear back no later than last Saturday. The outside counsel is expected to recommend to the appeals committee whether it can hear Brown's appeal, based on the party's rules. Brown's campaign is also considering what other avenues may exist to fight the party's decision, which has seized its top officials since it was made. Apart from the race to lead the federal Conservatives, Brown has yet to divulge his plans for a municipal one.
