B.C. Supreme Court rejects Stanley Park tree removal injunction due to looper moth infestation.
The B.C. Supreme Court has rejected an injunction to stop the removal of trees in Vancouver's Stanley Park, despite concerns from the Stanley Park Conservation Society that the work might cause more harm than good. The court found the issues raised about a potential duty of care owed by the city and park board were "novel" but deemed it "unlikely" a trial could establish such a duty. Tree removal, prompted by a looper moth infestation, will continue.
