In the ongoing legal battle over Lorne Grabher’s personalized license plate, the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia has awarded him $750 in court costs. Grabher had been fighting to regain his license plate, which was revoked in 2016 after a report suggested it supported sexual violence against women. The report had referenced derogatory comments made by President Donald Trump. Justice Pierre Muise ruled that the $750 award would bring fairness to both parties.

The case is set to continue in early September, indicating that a final resolution is pending. Grabher’s lawyer argued that the license plate was a name and not connected to Trump’s statements. He questioned the impact of foreign dignitaries’ comments on Canadians’ freedom of expression.

The Crown’s lawyer defended the report as an examination of how gender violence is portrayed in society. The case’s continuation suggests the court has yet to make a final decision on Grabher’s personalized license plate.
