VANCOUVER - A B.C. Supreme Court judge has dropped civil contempt charges against dozens of protesters who were arrested at an anti-pipeline protest on Burnaby Mountain.

The order comes after Kinder Morgan acknowledged it had used incorrect GPS co-ordinates when it sought an injunction related to its Trans Mountain pipeline.

More than 100 people have been arrested, nearly all of whom were charged with civil contempt.

More to come.
