  • Facts: Pacific Coast Terminals Co. Ltd. sought an injunction against the International Longshore and Warehouse Union - Canada (ILWU) due to picketing that blocked access to their terminal in Port Moody, British Columbia, during a strike, delaying or preventing entry and exit of management and other personnel.
  • Issue: The court had to determine whether the picketing activities, which included physical obstruction and delays to terminal access, were unlawful and if an injunction should be granted to prevent such activities.
  • Court’s Ruling: The court granted the injunction, finding the picketing activities, which impeded access to the terminal, to be unlawful. It issued orders to prevent the union from obstructing access and provided guidelines for enforcement, including police authority to arrest and remove individuals violating the injunction.
  • Costs/Damages Awarded: The document did not specify the exact amount of costs or damages awarded. However, the successful party in obtaining the injunction was Pacific Coast Terminals Co. Ltd., and the court's decision likely entitled them to recover costs associated with the application for the injunction.
