Judge says policy cannot be implemented, enforced until court rules on its legitimacy
A Regina judge has ruled that the Saskatchewan government's naming and pronoun policy should be paused for the time being.
Last month, the province announced that all students under 16 needed parental consent to change their names or pronouns.
UR Pride filed a lawsuit calling for the policy to be struck down. Last week, lawyers for UR Pride argued for an injunction, pending a ruling in the lawsuit.
A Regina judge at Court of King's Bench released his decision on the injunction Thursday. The judge ruled the policy cannot be implemented or enforced until its legitimacy has been decided by the court.
Arguments for and against the policy will be heard in court in November.
More to come.
