OTTAWA—The lawyer for Freedom Convoy organizer Chris Barber is continuing to argue in court for a stay of proceedings on the basis of an “officially induced error of law,” claiming that he was given erroneous legal advice on the legality of the trucker protest.

Barber and Tamara Lich were already found guilty of mischief, while Barber was also found guilty of counselling others to disobey a court order, for their role in the 2022 trucker protest against COVID-19 vaccine mandates and other pandemic restrictions.
