Federal Green party leader Annamie Paul answers questions during a press conference as she officially opens her campaign office in Toronto Centre on July 22.

The federal Green party increased its year-over-year fundraising figures nine per cent last quarter, just as internal strife was spilling into public view.

The numbers present a different picture than the one cast in an email to members from Green president Liana Canton Cusmano last month saying the party has seen “reduced donations” under leader Annamie Paul.

The fresh figures mark a small bright spot for Paul, who continues to struggle against a coterie of party executives who launched a legal proceeding against her this week in an ongoing effort to oust her ahead of a likely federal election.

Late Thursday, Cusmano sent an email to party members obtained by The Canadian Press that said it was Paul who set off the legal wrangling.

Paul said Thursday that the legal challenge, which she characterized as the latest move in a “one-sided attack” by a handful of outgoing federal councillors, related to “internal party matters.”.

The submissions in Ontario Superior Court on Wednesday ended a brief ceasefire between Paul and party brass, though Paul took issue with any depiction of “infighting” and said a few councillors whose terms will expire in under a month are behind the court manoeuvre.
