VANCOUVER — British Columbia’s court case over the flow of heavy oil through the province could be damaged by the NDP government’s previous positions against the expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline, says a legal expert. The province is also asking the court whether the amendments are over-riden by federal law. But Prof. Bruce Ryder of York University’s Osgoode Hall Law School said that case differs from B.C. Carissima Mathen, vice dean of the University of Ottawa’s law faculty, said there is a clear conflict between the B.C. All the experts expect the case to be appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada.
