Following a federal court ruling against the Canadian government for using the Emergencies Act during the trucker convoy, several plaintiffs plan to sue.

Cases include the ongoing trial of Freedom Convoy organizers, employees fired over vaccination mandates, and pastors who refused to stop public worship.

The defence argues there isn’t enough evidence to prove Tamara Lich and Chris Barber worked together at a level where a conspiracy to commit crimes occurred.

The idea that Tamara Lich and Chris Barber counselled truckers to come to Ottawa to commit unlawful acts hasn’t been supported by evidence, lawyer says.

Lawrence Greenspon is a human rights lawyer representing Tamara Lich, a Freedom Convoy activist, in her case against the Canadian Crown.

Crown prosecutors are still trying to establish that Ms. Lich and Mr. Barber had ‘control and influence’ over protesters in downtown Ottawa.

Crown prosecutors say they are dropping the charges due to delays in the trial of Ms. Lich and fellow convoy organizer Chris Barber.
