The Quebec Superior Court rendered a judgment that, among other things, removed Joanne Bilodeau, one of the applicants, from the non-profit organization of which she was a director. The Quebec Court of Appeal allowed in part the applicants’ appeal. It was of the opinion that the Superior Court could prohibit the applicant from holding office as director pursuant to art. 329 of the Civil Code of Québec, but that the prohibition could not be for more than five years pursuant to art. 330.
