Judge rejects motion to require one special constable per courtroom

Special constables working in courthouses across the province saw their motion requesting a minimum of one of their agents per courtroom rejected by a judge this week.
The matter should be decided by a labour arbitrator, Quebec Superior Court judge Jean-François Émond ruled in response to the motion that sought a declaratory judgment requiring the minimum staffing.
The union representing special constables has long said it worries about understaffing in courtrooms in the province.&
