Stelmach plans to appeal the ruling and ask for a stay:
"After careful review the government firmly believes it's in the best interests of Albertans to appeal the judge's decision and apply for a stay," Stelmach told reporters during a campaign stop at Calgary's Telus World of Science.
"It's based on ensuring auto insurance rates remain affordable."

Sounds like Ed just wants to sweep it under the rug until the election is over. I can't imagine an appeal will be successful.
The cap was not the right way to make rates affordable.
NDP leader Brian Mason said the decision to appeal favours big insurance companies over families.
"Their appeal will fail," Mason said in Edmonton. "The Conservatives will protect the insurance industry and blame the courts for a $200 increase in insurance prices. Inaction by the Conservatives will lead to a $200 increase in the insurance bill for the average driver."
