The person being affected by shunning can sue.

“John Davis”: “So in this case if another member of the congregation felt their freedom of speech right was being violated , that person would have to file the claim, not Mr Walls. Mr Walls would assist or even pay for it but he can't initiate the claim for that person.”
I don’t think that you understand. It is Mr. Randy Wall himself who is seeking legal remedy for the tangible losses to his real estate business arising from the prohibition by the congregation of any kind of contact between Mr. Wall and his clientele – which clientele happens to be coerced and blackmailed by the JW congregation into absolute shunning of Mr. Wall, even to the extent of cutting legal business proceedings.

There is no civil right to have someone talk to you. The civil right is that the government can't prevent you from speaking. I know you want to make the right fit the way you want it, but that is not the civil right.

And that's why we have courts. you are not a judge or a civil rights attorney so you don't really know.

You are 100% correct that is why we do have courts. And soon we will see how Canada sees it probably soon.
There have already been cases in other countries like the US who has already ruled on these matters. But that is why different countries have different laws because not every country is the same.

The light is yellow up until now but it can change.
