| dbo:abstract |
Kosoian v Société de transport de Montréal, 2019 SCC 59 (colloquially referred to as The Escalator Handrail Case) is a decision of the Supreme Court of Canada on the public law immunity of police officers and public bodies. The Court unanimously held that police officers who enforced non-existent laws did not enjoy civil or criminal immunity over their actions. The case arose when a woman refused to comply with a pictogram directing her to hold the handrail of an escalator. She was ordered to comply by an officer who believed, and had been taught, (wrongly) that the pictogram represented a by-law. After she refused multiple demands, the officer arrested her. (en) |
