TORONTO — Ontario has appealed a judge's decision to strike down as unconstitutional parts of an agriculture law that made it illegal to get a job on a farm under false pretences to expose conditions inside.
Animal Justice had argued the law infringed upon its Charter right to freedom of expression, which Koehnen agreed with. "The Superior Court made a palpable and overriding error of fact in concluding that reducing or eliminating undercover 'exposés' was a purpose of the legislation," the province wrote in its notice of appeal filed last week.The law, passed by Doug Ford's government in 2020, required consent from the owner to be on a property where animals are kept, raised or slaughtered. That consent vanished under the law if someone lied to get on the property.
