Attorney General of Canada

- Parties: The appellants were Canadian Frontline Nurses and Kristen Nagle. The respondent was the Attorney General of Canada. 

- Subject Matter: This appeal sought to set aside a Federal Court judgment in which the reviewing judge dismissed the appellants’ judicial review application challenging the Governor in Council's decisions to declare a public order emergency under s. 17(1) of the Emergencies Act, 1985 and to promulgate the Emergency Measures Regulations, SOR/2022 and the Emergency Economic Measures Order, SOR/2022. The appeal alleged that the reviewing judge erred in finding the application moot, erred in finding the temporary measures not incompatible with the Canadian Bill of Rights, 1960, erred in fact and in law, misapprehended the evidence, and failed to observe natural justice principles. This case is ongoing. 

- Date: The hearing was set on Feb. 4, 2025. 

- Venue: This was a federal case before the Federal Court of Appeal. 

- Amount: No financial award was specified.
