Acumen Law Corporation v. Nguyen, 2018 BCSC 961

The British Columbia Supreme Court awarded the plaintiff law firm and plaintiff lawyer $1.00 (One Dollar) in damages over a Google Plus review by a disgruntled client which the court found was posted in the heat of the moment, written in poor English, and contained spelling mistakes and poor punctuation.  The Court held that if the posting was defamatory, it was “at the lowest end of the scale.”
