Court Upholds NAFTA Tribunal In Ruling Over Ottawa's PCB Move

Credit Pacific Service Union The Canadian Federal Court has thrown out a government appeal of a multi-million-dollar judgment under NAFTA's controversial Chapter 11. The court said a NAFTA tribunal acted properly and within its jurisdiction when it found that Sheila Copps should not have cut off the business of a U.S. waste disposal company when she was environment minister in the mid-1990s.

The Office of Fair Trading (OFT) has given advice to consumers following the court ruling that goods purchased overseas are covered by section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act.

Credit First Service Union S.D. Myers Inc., of Tallmudge, Ohio, was awarded $8-million by the tribunal, an amount that has grown by $1-million during the appeal due to interest assessed on the award.

While the Supreme Court weakened privacy protection and the exclusionary rule in the Hudson case, earlier this year it championed privacy rights and the exclusionary rule in its decision on a Georgia Supreme Court matter. 3 decision, justices upheld the Georgia high court's ruling that police need a search warrant to enter a couple's home, or permission from both partners to gain access. Without a warrant or mutual consent, the exclusionary rule would be enforced. The ruling affected other states whose courts had said police needed the consent of only one partner.

The following year, however, in U.S. v. American Library Association, the Supreme Court overturned the lower court ruling and upheld CIPA as constitutional. The Supreme Court based its ruling on the fact that internet filters can easily be turned on and off, and noted that adult library patrons should be allowed to ask the librarian to disable the filter, without giving any reason for the request.

"If the government decides not to appeal it will comply with the decision and honour its NAFTA obligations."

Card Credit Processing Service The 2002 NAFTA tribunal decision found the PCB disposal company was unfairly discriminated against. The Canadian government, led by Ms. Copps, acted improperly when it blocked Myers from shipping Canadian polychlorinated biphenyls across the border for disposal at a U.S. facility.

Center Credit Service Union The case uncovered advice from bureaucrats in the Environment Department strongly advising Ms. Copps not to proceed with the ban on PCB exports, warning it would be "likely inconsistent" with NAFTA.

Card Credit Service Wireless She acted to protect the business of the sole Canadian PCB disposal facility, in Swan Hills, Alta., even though that meant trucking the toxins cross-country instead of shipping them across the border from Quebec and Ontario, where Myers had signed disposal contracts.

Credit Security Service Union The case was an early flashpoint for opponents of the NAFTA chapter, which allows private companies to sue governments if they feel their assets have been expropriated. In this case, Myers argued its contracts were assets. Critics of Chapter 11 says it gives foreign companies more privileges than citizens in some cases.
