A judge has ruled it was unreasonable for the Liberal government to use the Emergencies Act to quell “Freedom Convoy” protests in the national capital and at key border points two years ago.
In a decision released Tuesday, Federal Court Justice Richard Mosley said invocation of the act led to the infringement of constitutional rights.
The Canadian Civil Liberties Association and several other groups and individuals had argued in court that Ottawa ushered in the emergency measures without sound statutory grounds.
