When that wasn\u2019t enough, they filed an application with the British Columbia Supreme Court to extend the injunction for another two weeks. But the court\u00a0<a style=\"color: #d46019; text-decoration: none; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/news\/canada\/british-columbia\/kinder-morgan-loses-bid-to-extend-injunction-1.2852222\">rejected<\/a>their application, when it was revealed that Kinder Morgan had provided the wrong GPS coordinates for the injunction zone. As a result, charges were also lifted from the over 100 people arrested for civil contempt due to a lack of clarity around where they could and could not be on the mountain.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.48em; color: #1a1a1a; padding: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 1.1em 0px;\">Most importantly, the ruling means that Kinder Morgan can no longer continue construction on the site, as it has no legal grounds to do so.
