A Federal Court judge will rule Thursday on whether to hear a case that calls for the auditor general to release her report on G8 spending before next week's election.

A hearing was held Wednesday asking the court to expedite the case and Justice Simon Noel reserved his decision.

Toronto's Kathleen Trotter, a 27-year-old personal trainer who is backed by the global online activist group Avaaz, filed the lawsuit in Federal Court this week.

She says Sheila Fraser's refusal to release the report on the G8 legacy infrastructure fund is preventing her from making an informed choice in Monday's federal election. She claims her Charter rights are being violated.

Earlier this month, a leaked draft copy of Fraser's report said the government had "misinformed" Parliament to get approval for some G8 spending.

Trotter wasn't in court Wednesday but her lawyer Frank Addario urged the judge to hear the case this week.
