A class action lawsuit on behalf of Alberta business owners who may have suffered losses due to unauthorized COVID-19 restrictions imposed by the province can proceed.

A Calgary judge ruled the case can proceed on six common issues.

Whistlestop Cafe owner Christopher Scott is the representative plaintiff in the case.

The judge rejected Crown arguments Scott was not an appropriate representative because his business remained open throughout much of the health restrictions.
