The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday edition that all four of Loretta Rogers's children have challenged the $11-million in compensation being claimed by the trustees of her $250-million estate, legal documents show, adding to the dispute over the administration of the matriarch's assets. The Globe's Irene Galea writes that while two of Loretta's children, Edward and Lisa Rogers, have both filed their objections in court, two others, Melinda and Martha Rogers, have served their challenges to the trustees, but not yet filed in court, according to an endorsement by Ontario Superior Court Justice Bernadette Dietrich. The endorsement, which provides written instruction to legal counsel about the proceedings of a case, followed a conference in Toronto with lawyers for the trustees and the four siblings. The challenges follow the objection formally lodged by Edward Rogers in March, in which he argued that the trustee's claimed compensation was "neither fair nor reasonable." The children and the trustees have attempted to resolve the issues through mediation, but were not successful. They agreed to try to find another mediator by the end of May, or return to court for further guidance, with a Sept. 18 mediation deadline.
