A Quebec Superior Court judge has overturned a university tuition hike for out-of-province students that the government introduced to reduce the number of English-speaking students in the province.

The decision, released Thursday, is a partial victory for Montreal’s two English-language universities, McGill and Concordia, which have said the Quebec government’s recent changes caused a drop in enrolment.
