- Parties: The appellant was the Attorney General of Canada. The respondent was the Canadian Constitution Foundation. The interveners were the Attorney General of Alberta and the Attorney General of Saskatchewan.

- Subject Matter: This appeal sought an order setting aside Federal Court judgments and dismissing the underlying judicial review applications. The appeal alleged that the Federal Court erred in law in declaring that the decision to issue the Proclamation Declaring a Public Order Emergency, SOR/2022-20 – under s. 17(1) of the Emergencies Act, 1985 and the associated Emergency Measures Regulations, PC 2022-107, SOR/2022-21 and the Emergency Economic Measures Order, PC 2022-108, SOR/2022-22 – was unreasonable and ultra vires the Emergencies Act. The Federal Court allegedly applied the reasonableness standard of review in an incorrect manner. This case is ongoing. 

- Date: The hearing was set on Feb. 4, 2025. 

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

- Amount: No financial award was specified.
