Canada’s most dramatic corporate showdown in years moved to a Vancouver courtroom Monday as Edward Rogers asked a judge to validate his move to stack the board of Rogers Communications Inc. with his allies.

The company says his new board is illegitimate and has joined with Edward Rogers’s mother, Loretta Rogers, and two of his sisters, Melinda Rogers-Hixon and Martha Rogers, to fight his effort to grasp control.
