The Court Order That Ended Toronto’s Encampment
An Ontario court set a deadline to clear the University of Toronto’s Front Campus.
The encampment began on May 2, 2024. On July 2, Ontario’s Superior Court granted the university an interim injunction. The order required tents and other structures to be removed and Front Campus to be vacated by 6 p.m. the following day.
The court distinguished the occupation of a particular space from the ability to demonstrate on campus. Its reasons explain the interim remedy through the university’s claim to control access to its property. The order offers a concrete comparison with campuses where negotiations produced a voluntary agreement.
