The applicant, Alexander Haxby, was charged with violating sections 15(1) and 58 of the Quarantine Act.
He brought a motion arguing arbitrary detention, unlawful intrusive tests conflicting with the Bill of Rights, lack of officer authority, and mootness of charges due to the Act no longer being in effect.
The court dismissed all grounds of the motion, finding that screening officers had authority, the certificate of designation was not a disclosure requirement, the requested stay under the Provincial Offences Act was misplaced, the certificate of offence was not defective or moot, and any detention or search was not arbitrary given the public health context of the pandemic.
