Justice Joshua Arnold is overseeing a judicial recount for Halifax District 9 at the Nova Scotia Supreme Court Monday.
Incoming councillor Shawn Cleary won by 106 votes, defeating incumbent Linda Mosher in the October 15 election. It’s the widest margin of defeat that is being recounted in the 2016 election.
