The Quebec Superior Court has ruled against a real estate development company that wanted the heritage status removed from First World War fortifications overlooking the St. Lawrence River east of Quebec City.

In a ruling on Monday, Justice Denis Jacques said the interests of the public must be weighed against private interests on matters of conservation and heritage classification.
