Skid Steers as Weapons and the Continued Legal Battles Over Health Worker Vaccinations

 

Discover the unexpected legal twist when a skid steer transforms from a farm machine into an alleged weapon! Michael Mulligan, our expert from Mulligan Defence Lawyers, is back to dissect a peculiar case from Vernon where a man faces assault charges for using his skid steer in a dispute with homeless trespassers. Learn what makes a skid steer a “weapon,” and get a masterclass in the legalities of assault and dangerous driving. Plus, we’ll navigate the nuances of a justice system where the Supreme Court’s interpretation can turn the tide in such unconventional scenarios.

Then, we tackle the contentious debate over mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations for healthcare workers, with Michael Mulligan weighing in on the balance between personal freedoms and public health mandates. The conversation doesn’t stop there; we also dissect a recent court ruling’s impact on a man caught in the crossfire of federal payments and provincial deductions. This episode isn’t just about the letter of the law; it’s about the real-life stories behind these legal battlegrounds and how they affect us all.
