The Friends of the Canadian Wheat Board have launched two lawsuits against the federal government.

Lawyer for the Friends of the Canadian Wheat Board Anders Bruun says one deals with third party spending and the other with the voters list.

Bruun says Friends of the Wheat Board and a number of individual producers are on the lawsuit.

Bruun adding, he's asked for an expedited hearing and figures it will be possible to get both matters heard rather quickly.

The reason, according to Bruun, for the expedited hearing is the Director Elections.
