A-23.1 - Act respecting the National Assembly

Full text
56.1. A Member who, due to being an elected officer, is the subject of comments or actions from a person other than a Member that abusively hinder the exercise of their functions or that constitute an unlawful infringement of their privacy may apply to the Superior Court for an injunction to put an end to the situation.
The Court assesses the application taking into account the public interest. It may, in particular, order a person
(1)  to not be in the Member’s electoral division office;
(2)  to not be in the offices of the staff of a member of the Conseil exécutif;
(3)  to cease communicating with the Member; or
(4)  to cease disseminating in the public sphere comments referred to in the first paragraph.
An application shall be heard and decided on an urgent basis.
For the purposes of the first paragraph, expressing an opinion, by any means, in a manner that is in keeping with the democratic values of Québec does not constitute a hindrance.
A copy of the application must be notified to the President.
