I think the legal basis for the bank seizures was the fact that they invoked this law, and if the invocation was unreasonable - all actions taken under it were unreasonable by extension.
Remedies are unclear, this is breaking news (though I wouldn't expect much).

Ahh, and here I was thinking rights just don’t exist there. That makes more sense. This is atleast a first step. But didn’t they already have a thing where they “found it justified” to invoke the act? I remember following that a bit. Hopefully a court ruling overrules whatever lame ass proceeding they had where they found themselves justified.
As best as I remember, the law requires an 'inquiry' whenever it is invoked. So Trudeau appointed a loyalist, who basically admitted that without officially making that finding - letting the government off the hook.
This is an actual court case against the government for violating the law.
You're right though, rights don't exist in Canada or Europe. That is why I think this will not lead anywhere beyond recognition that these people were wronged, no remedies, no reparations, no punishment for the guilty. Still good!
Interesting, does this apply to the bank account freezes too? What’s the scope of actions they’re looking at?
