Takefman v. Bier, 2010 QCCA 486

The Quebec Court of Appeal dismissed an appeal from a lower court injunction prohibiting the defendant from sending emails to the plaintiffs which they considered to be a form of harassment. Nevertheless the Court of Appeal held that a separate provision in the lower court’s order was overly broad and needed revision. That provision prohibited the defendant from communicating electronically with third parties about the plaintiffs. Accordingly, it was varied to prohibit communications on the Internet about the plaintiffs’ private lives.
