The Supreme Court of Canada will release its decision Friday on whether Vancouver sex workers can challenge the country's prostitution laws.
Canada's top Court will release its ruling on an appeal made by the Federal Government to try and stop the sex workers' challenge.
Katrina Pacey says her clients want to dispute laws including a ban on keeping a bawdy house and communicating for the purposes of prostitution.
The Pivot Legal Society lawyer says the case has also sparked a debate on access to justice, "It's very important because it's about how marginalized access to the Court system and whether or not they should be allowed to come forward in various ways, such as a collective, to bring human rights claims before the Courts."
The decision will come down in the wake of a ruling in Ontario last spring that struck down the ban on brothels.
