A member of an Ontario Amish community has won a legal battle after previously being convicted of not complying with the Quarantine Act during COVID-19.

Niagara Provincial Offences Court overturned the Amish man’s conviction and gave him a suspended sentence without a fine, according to the Canadian charity The Democracy Fund (TDF) which provided him legal representation.
