  • Facts: Premier sought an urgent injunction to prevent Unifor from blocking access to Del Monte Fresh Produce's premises during a strike. Unifor began lawful strike action after collective bargaining negotiations stalled.
  • Ruling: The Ontario Superior Court of Justice granted Premier's motion for an interim injunction, prohibiting Unifor and its agents from obstructing access to Del Monte's premises.
  • Key Points:
    • The court found Premier had standing to bring the motion.
    • The right to picket does not include rights to unlawful obstruction.
    • The balance of convenience favored granting the injunction to prevent irreparable harm to Premier and Del Monte.
  • Amount Awarded: Premier was deemed presumptively entitled to costs, with parties encouraged to agree on an amount.
