In his 96-page decision, Superior Court Justice Markus Koehnen found that the university had been trespassed upon and dispossessed of its property due to the occupation, which formed on King's College Circle in early May.
"The University has suffered and continues to suffer irreparable harm," Koehnen ruled
The law is clear.

The injunction has been lawfully ordered by the court and, come 6pm, itâs time for @TorontoPolice to clear the illegal encampment at @UofT.

Anti-semitic union flunkies, like those in CUPE, had made social media rallying cries in a last-ditch effort to support the squatters.Â
This is unhelpful. The courts have ruled.

The priority of all parties involved should be the peaceful dismantling of the encampment.
Further incitement is irresponsible.@CUPEOntario @UofT #Cdnpoli pic.twitter.com/PcFmiOGS05
However, supporters were only able to muster dozens to protest the injunction.Â

The illegal Hamas favela in Toronto was allowed to fester into its third month before removal. Other such unsanitary pro-violence villages were removed swiftly in Edmonton and Calgary after a few hours without the use of an injunction.Â

The demonstrations were formed to object to Israeli military action to free hostages taken in the largest attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust. 1200 Israelis were killed, and 240 were taken captive by Hamas murderers in a one-day terror frenzy on October 7, 2023.Â
