Challengers to Ottawa’s vaccine mandate for domestic travel filed a notice of appeal with the federal court on Nov. 18 in hopes of overturning a previous decision that said their case was “moot” given that the mandate had lapsed on June 20.

“Associate Chief Justice Gagné erred in law or fact and law by failing to consider, or, alternatively, by failing to provide reasons for concluding that there was no important public interest in dedicating judicial resources to decide whether the Mandatory Vaccine Requirements were constitutional,” says the notice of appeal from businessmen Karl Harrison and Shaun Rickard.
