The city and the Calgary Police Service have been dropped as defendants in a lawsuit filed by Global Television personality Leslie Horton over a dunk-tank mishap.

But Horton’s claim, filed in Calgary Court of Queen’s Bench, continues to seek damages from the Calgary Police Association as well as the company which provided the tank for an event two years ago.

Court records show Horton’s lawyer, Don McFarlane, filed discontinuation notices to both the police service and the City of Calgary on July 14.

The notices did not explain why the two defendants were being dropped from the legal action.

Both had been named in a lawsuit filed by Horton last month seeking damages over a July 5, 2014, incident which occurred at the CPS Westwinds Campus.

Horton sued the police union for hiring Tubby’s Hot Tub and Party Rentals Inc. to provide the dunk tank for the event, in which she was asked to participate.
