S04E04 The Lawsuit Against the Convoy
Episode description
Justice Centre lawyer James Manson gives us an update on the class action lawsuit brought by Zexi Li et al. in Ottawa against those involved in last year's Freedom Convoy, the protestors and the donors. The parties were in court recently arguing a Motion to Amend and a Motion to Strike, trying to resolve who, exactly, is being sued for what. It's not clear and that's a problem.
