CTV: Manitoba’s highest court rules family of Brian Sinclair can sue health authority

May 6, 2015 — 

Law professor Karen Busby was recently quoted in two media reports, once concerning the death of Brian Sinclair, and the other concerning public prayer.

On CTV:

“How ironic is it that if government contributes in some way to your death – you cannot sue them for violation of constitutionally protected right to life,” said Karen Busby, a constitutional law expert from the University of Manitoba.

On the Winnipeg Free Press:

Karen Busby, Professor of Law, University of Manitoba, “You’d have to look at actual practice, but that’s on the road to the right direction, giving people a choice of what kind of prayer they want to offer.”
