Quebec Court of Appeal rules Montreal can appeal judgment on pit bulls
MONTREAL — The City of Montreal has been granted permission to appeal a lower court ruling that suspended its controversial pit bull restrictions.
Quebec’s top court will allow the city to present arguments Nov. 25.
The city wants to overturn a Quebec Superior Court ruling that suspended several pit bull-related provisions of its animal control bylaw that came into effect Oct. 3.
The SPCA’s Montreal branch argued successfully that a stay was necessary until future arguments can be heard about the bylaw.
