The steps taken by Federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz in dismantling the single desk were illegal.
A Federal Court Judge handed down his decision today in favour of the Canadian Wheat Board and Friends of the CWB.
Justice Douglas Campbell ruled that the Minister in charge of the CWB broke the law by failing to consult with the CWB board of directors and hold a vote among producers before taking steps to dismantle the single desk.
The judge wrote in his ruling that had a meaningful consultative process been engaged to find a solution which meets the concerns of the majority, the present legal action might not have been necessary.
Federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz is expected to speak to the press later this afternoon.
