Vincent Larochelle, a Whitehorse lawyer, litigates in Whitehorse a class action lawsuit once morest the territorial government. He gives us the details of the hearings.
My clients do not question the health measures taken by the government, but rather the method the government used, in particular the Civil Emergencies Act
says the lawyer.
Vincent Larochelle’s clients are asking that certain aspects of the law on emergency measures be declared unconstitutional or incompatible with the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
The Yukon was one of the last jurisdictions in a state of emergency
underlines the lawyer who would like a better supervision of the authorities who decree the state of emergency.
