The Alberta Court of Appeal has sided with Artur and Dawid Pawlowski and Whistle Stop Café Owner Christopher Scott in an appeal against Alberta Health Services (AHS).

The appeal concerned three orders by Court of Queen’s Bench Justice Adam Germain that said the three men were in contempt of a May 6, 2021, injunction granted to AHS that prohibited public gatherings due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Pawlowskis appealed the contempt findings and sanctions, while Scott only appealed the sanctions.
