Proceedings into the class action lawsuit against Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry can now be streamed online.
The Canadian Society for the Advancement of Science in Public Policy suing Dr. Henry over the public health orders she applied during the pandemic.
“The measures appear to be incrementally draconian,” CSASPP claims on their website.
You can view the proceedings here.
Being allowed to broadcast the inside of a B.C. courtroom is an extraordinary circumstance and this is the first time it’s ever been allowed to happen. Supreme Court Justice David Crerar granted permission for the broadcast to “serve an educational purpose for the citizens of British Columbia and advance public review, public understanding, and public scrutiny of the court process.”
The broadcast had to be delayed by at least one day. The proceedings to certify the lawsuit as a class action took place Dec. 12, 13, 14 and 15 and recordings of them can be found through CSASPP's Vimeo channel.
The judge has not yet decided whether to certify the lawsuit or not.
