Two B.C. men charged with polygamy — or at least their lawyers — will be back in provincial court on June 25 to set a date for their preliminary hearing.

But before that preliminary hearing goes ahead, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Sunni Stromberg-Stein will hear an application that the charges against Winston Blackmore and James Oler be stayed either because the prosecution is unfair or, alternately, that they be stayed unless the government pays for their defense since this is a constitutional test case.

The lawyers were in B.C. Supreme Court briefly Tuesday to set the rules for the four-day hearing that opens June 29. During that hearing, Blackmore’s lawyer Joe Arvay raised the possibility that former attorney-general Wally Oppal may be called as a witness as might special prosecutor Terry Robertson.
