This decision actually goes beyond the one from the lower court, stating that the Law Society violated TWU's charter rights, directly contradicting the Ontario decision. This will be going to the Supreme Court of Canada.
I'm pretty confident that the SC will rule in TWU's favour, for reasons I won't bother to rehash.
The article you posted does give grounds to think there might be some basis for challenging the validity of the Community Covenant directly, whether by a challenge to TWU's claim to be a religious community or by citing harm done to students and alumni through degree devaluation.
