She was handcuffed for not holding an escalator's handrail. Ten years later, she's headed to Canada's Supreme Court | The Star

'In November, the Supreme Court of Canada surprised some legal watchers by agreeing to hear her appeal . '

'In the last decade, the Supreme Court has only granted about 10 per cent of the 500 or so requests for appeals it receives each year. '

'Their legal brief urged the Supreme Court not to grant the appeal, arguing that the STM regulation governing the pictogram is valid. '

'If she is successful, the money Kosoian might win will not begin to cover the costs of the multiple court battles and the Supreme Court appeal. '

'They asked four questions: Does the pictogram legally oblige people to hold the escalator handrail?'
