Ottawa residents, honking protesters scheduled to clash in court

An Ontario court is scheduled to hear arguments in a proposed multi-million-dollar class-action lawsuit by Ottawa residents who want protesters encamped in their downtown to stop honking their horns.
Superior Court Justice Hugh McLean had set a 1 p.m. deadline to get all documents and cross-examinations done before he would rule on one part of the proposed class-action.
A group of downtown residents is asking for an injunction to prevent truckers parked on city streets from honking their horns repeatedly throughout the day.
Their lawyer, Paul Champ, says the honking is causing irreparable harm because of how loud and prolonged it has been.
Keith Wilson, who is representing three of the respondents in the case, told McLean the ruling on the injunction carried national importance.
