ICYMI: Judge grants woman interim injunction for exemption from Alberta opioid restrictions yyc
“The evidence at this stage of the litigation shows that Miss Black has a strong position that her constitutional rights have been infringed, that she would suffer irreparable harm and it is clear that the balance of convenience weighs in her favour.”
Feasby said the injunction will remain in effect until her lawsuit over Alberta’s new standards is resolved in court. He directed that Black’s service providers be allowed to provide her with the treatment that she requires. “It merely permits her service providers to treat her in the interim period without the limitations imposed by the regulations, standards and policies,” he said.Black is suing the province under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms to put a halt to the new restrictions and to provide her with an exemption so she can continue to access the treatment.Article content
Her statement of claim says she began using opioids to cope with childhood trauma and that she was regularly sexually, physically and mentally abused by older men preying on her vulnerable condition. As a result, she began suffering from suicidal ideation, depression and other mental health issues. Alberta government lawyer Nate Gartke had argued that other options are available for Black and that she is making an active decision not to take the government treatment even though it’s safer.“It’s probably safer to crash and inject something you know than crashing and injecting something that is unknown.”This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.
