- Parties: The applicant was Liliane Squinas. The respondents were Lhoosk’uz Dené Nation, Violet Boyd, Ella Stillas, and June Baptiste.

- Subject Matter: On Mar. 10, 2023, the applicant filed an application seeking the judicial review of two Lhoosk’uz Dené Nation Band Council Resolutions dated Feb. 8, 2023 and Feb. 16, 2023, certiorari orders, and declaratory and injunctive relief. On Apr. 19, 2023, the applicant brought a motion under r. 373(1) of the Federal Courts Rules SOR/98-106 for an interlocutory injunction staying the resolutions until the final determination of the underlying application on its merits. The applicant also requested costs.

- Ruling: The court ruled in the respondents’ favour and dismissed the motion. The applicant failed to show any basis to grant interim injunctive relief pending the hearing of the judicial review application on its merits, the court held. The applicant failed to show that she would suffer irreparable harm if the resolutions remained in place until the determination of the application, the court said. The balance of convenience favoured continuance of the status quo pending that determination, the court added.

- Date: The hearing was set on Apr. 25, 2023. The court released its decision on Apr. 26, 2023.

- Venue: This was a federal case before the Federal Court.

- Amount: The court ordered the applicant to pay the respondents costs in the fixed amount of $1500 inclusive of all disbursements and taxes, given that the respondents were wholly successful and requested costs.
