Leave to Appeal – Dismissed
On January 23, 2015, the Federal Court of Appeal dismissed leave to appeal the NEB Ruling #34 in the Trans-Mountain Expansion Project in Hearing OH-001-2014 (Number 14-A-62) (the “FCA Decision”).
Ruling #34 denied a motion from several parties asserting that the participation decisions in Hearing OH-001-2014 infringed on the freedom of expression guarantee in section 2(b) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Lynne M. Quarmby et al. applied to the Supreme Court of Canada for leave to appeal the FCA Decision.
The Supreme Court of Canada dismissed the motions for leave to appeal the FCA Decision with costs.
Consistent with standard practice, the Supreme Court of Canada did not provide reasons for its judgment dismissing the application.
