And on the appeal, here is the ruling on the substance of the case and the ruling on costs from February and July 2006 respectively. Note:

All the respondents are of very modest means. In our view, for the Government to bring forward this unconstitutional legislation specifically aimed at thwarting and short-circuiting their efforts to access remedies that up to then had been available to all who filed discrimination complainants under the HRA is deserving of an award of costs on a substantial indemnity basis.
