Summary

The applicants, a lawn-care company, sought to overturn a municipal ban on pesticide use. They contended that the ban contravened or otherwise interfered with Quebec's Pesticides Act and federal Pest Control Products Act legislation, and sought a declaration that the municipality was ultra vires its power. The Supreme Court ruled otherwise, as did the courts below. The appellants were taxed with costs.[3]
