Legal challenges to the federal quarantine hotel policy continue to work their way through the courts, with another decision that was released on April 23. This decision was a minor procedural setback that will not have a bearing on the challenge to the policy. But the decision has attracted significant attention and is worth understanding.
Friday’s decision was about a request by the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) and some individual travellers to temporarily suspend the quarantine hotel policy until the full legal challenge can be heard, later this year. The JCCF and these travellers were seeking what is called an injunction, which would suspend the quarantine hotel policy, because individuals are being harmed while they wait for the full challenge to be heard.

TORONTO: The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms will be in Toronto Federal Court on Wednesday, April 14, 2021, seeking an injunction to put an immediate stop to Trudeauâs quarantine hotels and facilities until a full hearing can be heard on the matter. The Justice Centre is urging the Federal Court to end the unconstitutional practice of forcing healthy air travellers who have already tested negative for Covid-19, to quarantine in federal facilities.
The Justice Centre originally filed legal action on February 17, 2021 against the Federal Government in response to Prime Minister Justin Trudeauâs Order-in-Council forcing Canadians returning via air travel to be confined in quarantine hotels at a cost of $2,000 per traveller, even with possession of a negative PCR test. Travellers who arrive in possession of a negative antigen test for Covid are also being forced into isolation facilities.
