| 2017-02-17 | Judgment on the appeal rendered, Abe Mo Ka Wa Côt Br Row, The appeal from the judgment of the Court of Appeal for British Columbia (Vancouver), Number CA42758, 2016 BCCA 336, dated August 4, 2016, was heard on February 17, 2017, and the Court on that day delivered the following judgment orally: ABELLA J. — A majority of this Court would dismiss the appeal, substantially for the reasons of Willcock J.A. While we appreciate the suggestions of the Intervenors that the law be re-examined, we are not satisfied that such re-examination is warranted in this case, particularly where neither party has asked us to depart from the jurisprudence of this Court. Justice Rowe would have allowed the appeal, based on the dissenting reasons of Newbury J.A., as set out in paras. 22-26 of her reasons. Dismissed |
