Legal battle has cost over $250,000

The fin­ancial cost of dismissing two fire officials has now reached over $250,000 for Puslinch Township.

On Oct. 21, council ap­prov­ed the payment of a $2,330 bill for services rendered in July and August by Toronto legal firm Filion Wakely Thorup Ange­l­etti. The bill stems from the December dismissal of former Fire Chief Dan Quinnell and former Fire Prevention Officer Richard Quinnell.

That brings the township’s legal costs to $84,707. Com­bined with the settlement paid to the Quinnells, the municipality’s total cost for the legal battle is now at $250,467.
