## Access limits

The official B.C. Supreme Court written reasons were not located in the public B.C. Courts search/web results during this pass. The article therefore attributes detailed ruling language to CTV/CBC/CP/Postmedia reports and the captured CTV segment rather than claiming direct court-document extraction.
