I don't know how much this will help if this is a Canadian case (given that
you're in BC), but any time there's a legal case that touches upon
breastfeeding, I think immediately of Liz Baldwin - breastfeeding and the
law (at least bfing and U.S law) is her special area of expertise.  I don't
know how to get hold of her (I should, given that I'm in south Florida,
huh?), but I'm sure someone here could help put your client in contact with
her.  It's worth a shot......
