The Plaintiff church sought to enforce and clarify an interim injunction against the Defendant, a former minister, and his followers who were disrupting worship services with noise and gatherings directly outside the church property.

An earlier interim order was deemed too vague by police.

The court, at a case conference, issued a new, more specific order defining the permissible distance for the defendant's group during the church's worship hours, balancing freedom of expression with freedom of worship.

The Applicant brought a motion for judgment, alleging that the Respondent's principal, Paul Halyk, accessed confidential and privileged communications between the Applicant's principal and its legal counsel.

The court found that Halyk accessed privileged material and failed to rebut the presumption of prejudice, as he did not provide specific details about the extent of his review.

While declining to grant judgment on the Application due to insufficient evidentiary record for the underlying merits, the court ordered the Respondent's Notice of Appearance struck, allowing the Application to proceed as undefended.
