Tobacco firms challenging B.C. on smoking-related act
Article Abstract:
Canadian tobacco firms RJR-Macdonald Corp, Imperial Tobacco Ltd and Rothman Benson & Hedges will challenge the British Columbia government before the province's Supreme Court on a law which the three firms claim is unconstitutional and takes away the power of judges. The law enables the province to bring tobacco firms to court on behalf of all smokers in the province and prescribes the amount of information which courts may request.
