The Federal Court of Appeal found that the Copyright Board had not explained its choice of September 30, 2019 as the settlement date for a redetermined distant television retransmission tariff. The court set aside that date and associated transitional provisions and returned them to the Board. The ruling did not decide the royalty rates themselves, and no costs were awarded. This is a May 2026 judgment, not a new October development.
