Can new trustees of a society be found to have knowledge of an injunction that applies to and named only the former trustees?

Canada (Federal), Canada

The following excerpt is from Morasse v. Nadeau‑Dubois, [2016] 2 SCR 232, 2016 SCC 44 (CanLII):

In Avery v. Andrews (1882), 51 L.J. Ch. 414, a case referred to in Bhatnager, the court found that some of the defendants, who were new trustees of a society, had sufficient knowledge of the content of an injunction that applied to and named only the former trustees, even though the defendants in question claimed never to have seen the order or a copy of it. The court held that the defendants were “aware of the effect of the order”, given that they had attended a meeting at which a letter advising the society to consent to the injunction had been read, and that a local newspaper had published a full account of the proceeding in which the order had been made (pp. 415‑16).
