Is there still a #commonlaw right to #waterquality that allows for claims against upstream polluters? Or has it been abolished by statute? In a recent BCCA decision, our clients have won the right to have this question answered in BCSC as a "point of law"

Yesterday, 3 justices from Canada’s Federal Court of Appeals unanimously ruled in favor of 15 youth plaintiffs on our climate lawsuit La Rose v. His Majesty the King, denying the govt’s attempt to prevent their case from proceeding to trial. https://t.co/ljBPkAiI5E #YouthvGov

[David Suzuki FDN @DavidSuzukiFDN]

This decision overturns a previous ruling by a lower court, where the government had argued for the dismissal of the case.
