The ruling came down on the Canadian Reference case. You can read the 300+ page opinion here: Reference re: Section 293 of the Criminal Code of Canada, 2011 BCSC 1588
Interestingly, there have been several articles, editorials and opinion pieces published that are critical of the Opinion. I'm going to post those links here because I agree with the opinions expressed.
Here they are:
