Organizers of the Occupy Nova Scotia demonstration say they are having a legal team review the eviction notice used to dismantle their camp in a Halifax park.
Kyle Buott said today that a committee was checking the legality of the notice to see whether the mayor had the right to evict demonstrators from the park.
Halifax Mayor Peter Kelly issued an eviction notice Friday, telling them they were in violation of a bylaw prohibiting them from setting up tents on the property.
Fourteen people were arrested and several accused the police of roughing them up when officers tore down their tents.
Three more people were arrested after a rally Saturday at another park and Buott says supporters plan on being at the courthouse Monday when one of the cases is heard.
Demonstrators have not set up tents in the city since the order was issued, but planned to hold a meeting today to plan their next move.
