OTTAWA — Canada's top court will hear an appeal from the province of Alberta of a court order to pay costs in the case of a man who fought a $54 unilingual traffic ticket.
The ticket, issued in 2003 for making an illegal left turn, was challenged by a francophone Alberta truck driver named Gilles Caron, because it was not written in French. A provincial court supported the challenge, declaring Alberta's Languages Act unconstitutional.
No date has yet been scheduled for the appeal in the Supreme Court of Canada, which will rule on whether the Alberta government must pay Caron $90,000 in legal costs.
