Blockade Declared Illegal

Gitxsan Territories - A BC Supreme Court Judge has confirmed that the Gitxsan Treaty Society Board of Directors is legally allowed to act on behalf of the GTS. Mr. Justice McEwan also stated once again the blockade of the GTS office in Hazelton is illegal and urged the RCMP to take steps to enforce an injunction against the blockade.

On April 3^rd, the Gitxsan Treaty Society appeared before Mr. Justice McEwan of the BC Supreme Court on an application related to its injunction that prohibits the ongoing blockade of the GTS’s office in Hazelton. The GTS asked the court to revise a January 18, 2011 order of Mr. Justice Davies, which prevented the GTS from taking steps in court to enforce its injunction until the defendants’ application to set aside that injunction was heard. The court granted the order sought by GTS.
