On Tuesday, January 22, 2019, the First Nations Public Complainants (Rainy River First Nations and the family of the late Stacy DeBungee) filed notice for leave to appeal the January 7, 2019 decision of a panel comprised of Justices Warkentin R.S.J, Aitken and Mulligan JJ, wherein the Divisional Court ruled that the decision of Mr. Lee Ferrier to hold the extension motion <em>in camera</em> should be upheld.
