It`s back to court again for the eight former elected directors of the Canadian Wheat Board.

The group will appeal the Manitoba court ruling that upheld Bill C-18, the federal legislation ending the CWB's single desk.

Former CWB Chair Allen Oberg says they believe the ruling contains a number of errors.

It was back in February, that Manitoba Court Justice Shane Perlmutter ruled the requirement for a producer plebiscite in the former CWB act did not apply to Bill C-18.


The former directors are also involved in two other court cases regarding the end of the single desk - the government's appeal of the federal court ruling in the CWB directors' favour in December and a constitutional/class action suit launched in February.
