The Saskatchewan Court of Appeal has upheld a civil court ruling against a Saskatoon agricultural auction over a herd of bison that contracted a fatal disease while awaiting sale in the auction’s barns just outside the city.
The trial judge who found Saskatoon Auction Mart liable for the deaths of 31 bison the company had sold to a rancher made no error in determining that the auction house had not taken reasonable care of the animals while they were in its possession, the Appeal Court judges agreed in a written decision issued Tuesday.
