An Ontario judge has granted a 10-day injunction to prevent protesting truckers in downtown Ottawa from honking their horns incessantly as the mayor of the national capital city asked for a near doubling of his police force.

Ontario Superior Court Justice Hugh McLean granted a temporary injunction that could bring an end to the cacophony of horns heard in streets for more than a week.

McLean said his order was temporary because he needs to hear more evidence, but that he heard enough to make this ruling as a protest against COVID-19 pandemic measures continues to paralyze neighbourhoods around Parliament Hill.

An injunction is a court order that a person cease certain behaviour. If they don’t comply, they can be charged with contempt of court.

Litigation lawyer Fred Schumann breaks down the decision, and issues that could arise with enforcement.
