In Ingram v. Alberta, 2024 ABKB 631, plaintiffs Rebecca Ingram and Christopher Scott, representing Alberta business owners, sought class action certification for losses due to COVID-19 public health orders. They argued that these orders were ultra vires (beyond legal authority) because Alberta’s Cabinet, not the Chief Medical Officer of Health (CMOH), had issued them—a violation previously confirmed in Ingram v. Alberta, 2023 ABKB 453.
