The Court considered an appeal arising during an indefinite strike by members of Les avocats et notaires de l’État québécois, where an adjournment request had been refused as part of an essential-services context.
By the hearing date, the strike had ended and a special statute had required a return to work.
The Court held the issue was moot and dismissed the appeal without costs.
It stated that dismissing the appeal did not endorse either the process used or the validity of the considerations identified by the Court of Appeal.
