That is why there are appeal processes and courts are able to respond when someone feels he has been treated unfairly or when something does not go as he believes it should.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1420439\" data-originallang=\"fr\">In this case, Mr. Leroux has appeal to the court for a ruling, and we will let the court do its job.</p>",
