In his decision on Tuesday, Justice Daniel Boone of the Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador said plaintiffs Werner and Sharon Koehler's class action was dismissed because it did not meet the required criteria under the provincial Class Actions Act. The Koehlers live in Ontario but own a home and a seasonal business in Bay Roberts. They claimed travel restrictions imposed by the provincial government under the COVID-19 pandemic violated their charter rights to mobility, equality and freedom of expression and also caused actionable nuisance.
