Hoping for a peaceful outcome at Occupy
Wednesday, November 9, 2011 by David Eby
Vancouver lawyers Jason Gratl and Michael McCubby have negotiated short-term relief for Occupy Vancouver with some tight timelines and restrictions. It seems that the full injunction application won't be heard until November 16 at 10 a.m. In the meantime, OV needs to abide by the Fire Department's strict conditions.
From all reports, the Occupy near-death experience appears to have awakened a can-do spirit at the camp, with Occupiers re-constructing the site to comply with the Fire Department's order.
The City, of course, does not need to wait for the injunction to send staff in without a police escort to seize the tents on the site. However, city staff are likely unwilling to take that enforcement step without a police escort, and Chief Chu has been clear that he would prefer a situation where an injunction and enforcement order are in place.
Chief Chu could certainly change his mind at any time and decide to escort city staff without an injunction, or issue bylaw tickets to all of the campers, but it appears he, like all of us, is hoping that this matter can be resolved without the risks that come with confrontation between police and protesters.
