The courts, especially in British Columbia, often consider matters related to encampments. The below database tracks these proceedings, including:
Injunction orders issued by the court;
Challenges of municipal bylaws on constitutional grounds; and
Judicial review of municipal orders.
The database tracks the status and locations of encampments which are the subject of court proceedings, and provides summaries of these proceedings. Some of the case summaries use legal language that might be confusing for some people to read. To help this, we have put together a "plain-English" glossary of definitions here.
See below for the following:
A map showing the locations of the encampments that were subject to legal proceedings.
An interactive and sortable table of encampment cases, showing the type of legal proceeding and the outcome of the case.
Case summaries of the legal proceedings, as linked to in the table.
