Farmer Michael Schmidt talks to supporters in front of his converted blue school bus yesterday outside court in Newmarket after a judge put over his case until September.
Dairy farmer Michael Schmidt will be back in a Newmarket court in September to fight contempt of court charges for allegedly distributing unpasteurized milk in the Region of York.
The motion for contempt filed by the region was scheduled to be heard yesterday, but Superior Court Justice Michael Brown ruled the matter was too serious to proceed without a trial. The case has been adjourned until Sept. 10 for a three-day trial to allow the court to hear from witnesses.
The region filed the contempt charge against Schmidt for failing to obey orders to stop distributing raw milk within its borders.
