Lawyer Irene Faulkner Updates Case

Tent_City_Lawsuit — Wed, 12 Sep 2007 21:16:59 -0700

Brief desciption:
â€œEverything was filed on time to get the 18a set for September 10, 2007 and the Province and Canada were served with the notice of constitutional question in accordance with the legislation.â€ said Irene Faulkner.
The Attorney General's office has asked to postpone the case, likely until February 2008.
The city of Victoria has more than 1,200 homeless people and only 170 bed, therefore, a law that criminalizes sleeping outside is unconstitutional.
