The Ontario Court of Appeal in R. v. Banks (2007 ONCA 19) has upheld provincial legislation making it illegal for someone to offer to wash windshields for money. This means, among other things, that “squeegee kids” can no longer ply their trade. What effect does this ruling have on other jurisdictions within Canada? Is a British Columbia trial court bound to follow the new ruling? What effect will it have on a decision of the Court of Appeal of Alberta?
