An industry group withdraws its legal challenge to pesticide rules adopted by municipalities in Quebec. According to reports, the association had sought a judicial review at the Quebec Superior Court to contest a new pesticide ban affecting several towns and cities, including Saint-Hyacinthe, Granby, Beauharnois, Bromont and Plessisville. The challenge focused on the municipalities’ pesticide restrictions, but the sources provided do not describe the grounds raised in the original filing or the legal basis for the withdrawal. The reporting indicates the matter is no longer before the court following the group’s decision to drop the application. No details are included in the available summaries about whether the withdrawal is linked to changes in the rules, a settlement, procedural issues, or other developments. The municipalities’ pesticide ban therefore remains in place as the legal dispute does not proceed. The outlets agree on the central points that a judicial review request had been filed and is now withdrawn, with the affected municipalities identified.
