Judge dismisses injunction over Saskatoon homeless encampment
Justice Richard Danyliuk issued a written decision Tuesday, ruling the plaintiffs who brought forward the injunction request had no standing to do so.
A Saskatoon Court of King’s Bench judge has dismissed an injunction request aimed at preventing the city from clearing a homeless encampment in the Pleasant Hill neighbourhood. Justice Richard Danyliuk ruled on Tuesday that the plaintiffs, who initiated the injunction request, lacked the authority to do so. The 46-page decision outlines several instances of hearsay and opinion present in the plaintiffs' submissions, including lawyer Crystal Fafard and Sheela McLean.
The judge also criticized Fafard for attempting to apply for injunctions on other encampments while seeking the judge's cell phone number, deeming this behaviour "entirely inappropriate."
