Description

November 8 Vancouver The B.C. Court of Appeal refused leave for GATE (Vancouver) and the B.C. Human Rights Commission to appeal GATE's case against the Vancouver Sun to the Supreme Court of Canada. On November 21, application was made directly to the Supreme Court of Canada. This was the second of two bids to win leave to appeal to the Supreme Court. A separate appeal made on October 17, 1977, had not yet received a response from the court. On December 14, 1977, the Supreme Court of Canada agreed to hear GATE's appeal. (See also October 5, 1978.)
