The British Columbia government will not launch an appeal after criminal charges against two polygamist religious leaders were recently thrown out of court.

The decision takes the province down a route it has been avoiding since 2007, when special prosecutor Richard Peck recommended it ask a court to determine if laws that prohibit polygamy in Canada are constitutional.
