A Montreal-area woman’s unusual case was heard in the Supreme Court of Canada on Tuesday, 10 years after a police officer ticketed her for refusing to hold onto an escalator handrail.

Bela Kosoian was in a subway station in Laval in 2009 when a police officer told her to respect a pictogram on the escalator that said, in French, “Caution, hold the handrail.”

She was acquitted in municipal court in 2012, and then filed a lawsuit against the city, the police officer and the transit corporation. She lost twice in Quebec courts. The SCC took up the case last year.
