"This morning the Superior Court extended the injunction preventing the involuntary removal of individuals from homeless encampments until the motion can be heard in early-September, 2020," tweeted Hamilton human rights lawyer Wade Poziomka Friday morning. This morning the Superior Court extended the injunction preventing the involuntary removal of individuals from homeless encampments until the motion can be heard in early-September, 2020.

"We will have to address this because it essentially set aside a bylaw for the City of Hamilton," he said.
