The applicant employer sought a labour injunction under section 102 of the Courts of Justice Act to restrain picketing by locked-out employees.
The court applied the four-part test for a labour injunction and found that the employer failed to demonstrate irreparable harm, as there were no criminal charges, civil actions, or disciplined employees, and the alleged loss of business was a bald assertion.
Furthermore, the court found that the police had been responsive and effective in maintaining the peace.
The application was dismissed.
