Labour leaders fear wider repercussions of B.C. Supreme Court ruling on asbestos removal company

VANCOUVER — A British Columbia Supreme Court judge has concluded the province’s workplace-safety laws are too vague in a decision union leaders say threatens to undermine B.C.’s entire regulatory regime. Justice George Macintosh tossed out allegations on Friday that an asbestos-removal contractor and his son disobeyed a 2012 court order to comply with the Workers Compensation Act, saying the law is too complex and difficult to understand.
