Nalcor Energy (“Nalcor”) applied for the continuation of an interim injunction that had been made against members of the NunatuKavut Community Council who were protesting against the development of a hydroelectric project at Muskrat Falls. After considering the positions of the parties, the Court granted the interim injunction and set out a number of orders designed to prevent the protesters from interfering with Nalcor’s activities.
