Cummings v. Burlington Radio Control Modelers, [2018] O.J. No. 6698

The Ontario Superior Court of Justice  (Small Claims Court) summarily dismissed this action including defamation claims  relating to emails.  To the extent the defamation claims actually disclosed a cause of action, the emails were in most cases not defamatory or were alternatively defensible on the basis of qualified privilege.
