Document Summary

Self conception and practical experience: you may disobey the law if you feel the law is unfair, ghandi was a law breaker, but he had good intentions and changed the law for the better. Frogs are not endangered globally but threatened in quebec and ontario. After much controlling the environment mister issued an emergency order: stop taking away ponds and stop developing the land to protect the frog habitat. Second time an emergency order has been ever made and first time used against private property. Corporations had already secured the property by environmental assessments and the construction was already under way. So the emergency order froze this project after it was already approved. Went to court because: this is unconstitutional, has already been approved, this is private property and cannot be ceased by the government unless they need money for it, we will give compensation but there are no regulations. Judge: minister is rightly concerned about the environment and biodiversity.
