A Quebec Superior Court judge has temporarily suspended two articles of the province’s new language law, saying they could prevent some English-speaking organizations from accessing justice through the courts.

Justice Chantal Corriveau has ruled that the sections of Bill 96 that require corporations to pay a certified translator to produce French versions of legal documents should be suspended until the court challenge can be heard on its merits.
