A court in Edmonton is hearing arguments Monday about whether or not to extend an emergency interim injunction granted late last week that briefly postponed the removal of homeless camps.
Court of King’s Bench Justice Kent Davidson granted an “interim, interim injunction” late Friday, requiring Edmonton police to wait until at least noon Monday to begin any planned camp removals at eight sites that police have deemed high risk.
The pause was extended during the hearing Monday morning until a decision is made. That is expected later in the afternoon.
The Coalition for Justice and Human Rights has previously applied for an injunction to stop the removals
