Federal Employee Lawsuit Update Sept 2024

There has been some significant progress in the Federal Employee Lawsuit

To summarize:

  • In 2023, the Federal Court dismissed a lawsuit spearheaded by Police on Guard concerning vaccination mandates in employment contexts.
  • The decision was appealed, and in June 2024, the Federal Court of Appeal allowed some plaintiffs to proceed with their case while dismissing others.
  • The plaintiffs who were dismissed are now appealing their dismissal to the Supreme Court of Canada.
  • The plaintiffs who remain are preparing to advance their case in Federal Court after initially filing in May 2022.

It’s a complex and evolving situation, so keep an eye out for official updates as the legal proceedings continue.
