The legal battle over Lorne Grabher’s personalized license plate continues, with the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia awarding him $750 in court costs.
Grabher has been trying to get back his license plate, which was revoked in 2016 after a report by McGill University professor Carrie Rentschler suggested it promoted disrespect.
Grabher’s lawyer, Jay Cameron, disagreed, arguing the plate simply displayed his family name.
Justice Pierre Muise ruled that Grabher should be reimbursed $750, the same amount he paid to the Crown. The case will continue in early September, with no final decision yet.
The Crown’s lawyer, Alison Campbell, defended the report as an academic review of how gender violence is portrayed in society.
Grabher explained that the plate was a gift for his late father and symbolized their Austrian-German heritage. The case remains unresolved, and a final decision is still pending.
