A Court Recently Found, as a Matter of Fact, That

Multiple Choice

A court recently found, as a matter of fact, that a party's ability to advertise was restricted. In some circumstances, such a restriction violates section 2(b) of the Charter. Ultimately, however, the court's decision did not allow the affected party to advertise as it wished. Which of the following statements may explain that end result?

A) The court held that the restriction was an "unreasonable limitation" on the freedom of expression.
B) The restriction was imposed by a private party, rather than by a government actor.
C) The restriction was imposed by a statute and the government responsible for that statute reacted to the court's decision by invoking the residual clause.
D) The party was not entitled to freedom of expression because it is a company, rather than a human being.
E) The restriction was saved under section 15(2) of the Charter.
