Here’s how opponents will use the courts to try to thwart Quebec’s Bill 96

 Opponents are expected to file several legal challenges against  Bill 96, the controversial, wide-ranging legislation passed in May [2022] that could touch many aspects of daily life, from medical care to how businesses operate to the workings of the court system.

The law further restricts the use of English in Quebec in a bid to boost the French language, with Premier François Legault arguing French is in decline in Quebec , both in workplaces and in homes.

An English Montreal School Board (EMSB) lawsuit filed last week is the first attempt to quash parts of the law.

The Montreal Gazette spoke to legal experts and people working on possible legal action.
