JUDICIAL REVIEW of OIC and Coalition for gun control

[Sakonut]

So on finding some more info on "intevervener status", it seems like interveners can't have a direct interest in the matter at hand. How exactly is stopping the the reversal of anti-gun legislation not in the CGC's interest?

The Quebec Court (Civil Chamber) awarded $15,000 moral damages to the plaintiff company jointly against the two defendants; one a store owner and the other a business competitor. The plaintiff was also awarded $5,000 punitive damages against the store owner and $2,000 punitive damages against the competitor. The defamatory statements were published on Facebook and falsely impugned the integrity and ethics of the plaintiff. The defendants published defamatory posts, comments and replies on their own Facebook pages. Facebook posts by the store owner were copied in reposted by others elsewhere on the Internet. The plaintiff received accusatory messages from third parties and one client refused to handle the plaintiff’s products.

The Ontario Superior Court of Justice awarded the plaintiff companies damages at large of $500,000 over what the Court held was “an outrageous and egregious attack on their reputation.” The Court was satisfied that their business suffered financially and that their principals and representatives suffered from abuse, threats, and slanders and hate mongering. Certain allegations were made on CBS Evening News. The Court held that the defendant also sent numerous text and phone messages to people associated with the plaintiffs. [Note: The Court also awarded punitive damages of $500,000 but it is not clear from the judgment whether this award related to the conduct which constituted injury to reputation].

The Superior Court of Quebec ordered that a father pay his son $5,000 damages for injury to reputation in relation to a post on Facebook. The post, which was given limited dissemination to the father’s friends, mocked his son’s academic record, called him among other things the “village idiot,” a “liar,” “profiteer” and “cheat”.

why have these liars not had their asses sued off in court?? I really hope that the people who have recently sent cease and desist orders to poly get them HARD for slander, that Ontario case $500k seems like a good starting point to 'heal' from the defamation.
