Episode 22: Why did the court smack down Trudeau's use of the Emergencies Act?
On Episode 22 of Not Reserving Judgment, we focus in on our favourite parts of Justice Mosley’s Federal Court of Canada decision that found the invocation of the Emergencies Act was unreasonable and that some of the orders made under it were unconstitutional.
Stories and cases discussed in this week’s episode:
- Federal Court of Canada decision on Emergencies Act
- Not justified and unreasonable (Paul Wells)
- Federal Court finds Emergencies Act invocation violated rights, was unreasonable
- Christine Van Geyn: Emergencies Act was clearly unjustified — Liberals face steep path to appeal
- Joanna Baron: The Federal Court’s Emergencies Act decision is happy vindication for those who care about the Constitution
