The plaintiff railway company brought an ex parte motion for an interim injunction to remove protesters blocking its main rail line.
The protesters were acting in solidarity with the Wet'suwet'en in British Columbia.
The court applied the RJR-MacDonald test and found a serious issue to be tried regarding trespass and tortious interference.
The court concluded the plaintiff suffered irreparable harm due to delayed freight and passenger trains, and the balance of convenience favoured granting the injunction as the protest was on private property.
The interim injunction was granted for 10 days.
