Patrick Brown wants to appeal a decision made by federal Conservatives overseeing the party’s leadership race to disqualify him.

A notice of appeal and warning of impending legal action related to Brown’s ousting was sent Wednesday evening to Don Nightingale, the party’s chief returning officer, and Ian Brodie, chair of the party’s leadership election organizing committee.
