Insite Leave Granted to SCC

The Supreme Court of Canada rendered judgment [1]today, granting application for appeal in PHS Community Services Society v. Canada [2], the case of the Insite [3]supervised injection site in B.C. I attended the hearings in Vancouver at the Court of Appeal last summer and posted my notes here on Slaw [4].

The 2-1 ruling, released in January, upheld the trial level decision allowing the clinic to remain open.

Coverage of the case is available at The Globe [5], CBC [6], and the Vancouver Sun [7].
