How have courts considered the merits of a picketing injunction?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Insurance Corporation of British Columbia v. Canadian Office and Professional Employees Union, Local 378, 2012 BCSC 1244 (CanLII):

In Canada Post, Dillon J. summarized the cases upon which the respondent relies before me, standing for the proposition that where the applicant seeks to restrain or curtail picketing, the merits of the claim for relief should be more closely scrutinized. The respondent further says where an applicant seeks to enforce a restrictive covenant that inhibits a person’s ability to earn a living or seeks an injunction that will, in effect, finally determine the question between the parties, there should be a more extensive review of the merits of the applicant’s claim: Edward Jones v. Voldeng, 2012 BCSC 497 (rev’d at 2012 BCCA 295).
