TORONTO A demand that four Ontario families pay hundreds of thousands of dollars
in legal costs to billion-dollar companies is a thinly disguised warning to
anyone pondering a challenge to industrial wind farms in Ontario, the families
say. In asking the courts to set the legal bill aside, the citizens say the
award would cripple them financially and undermine access to justice, even in
important public-interest cases. Court documents show the companies — K2 Wind,
Armow, and St. Columban — are seeking $340,000 in costs from the Drennans,
Ryans, Dixons and Kroeplins, who lost their bid to scuttle three wind-farm
projects. via
