In a ruling issued today, Justice Donald Burrage agreed that Taylor’s right to mobility was infringed but said the infringement was justified because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Taylor was later allowed into the province, but she has said the decision came too late to allow her to grieve properly and comfort her father.

In July, Newfoundland and Labrador relaxed its travel ban and allowed residents of other Atlantic provinces to enter.
