Trace Foundation v. Centre For Research On Globalization (CRG), 2010 QCCS 2119

The Quebec Superior Court dismissed a defamation action concerning an article on the defendant’s website. The Court found no causal link between the website article and any prejudice to the plaintiff’s relationship with the Chinese government. The lawsuit was held to be frivolous, in bad faith and an attempt to restrict freedom of public debate.
