Lalli c. Gravel,  2018 QCCS 3927

The Superior Court of Quebec dismissed defamation claims relating to a CBC television broadcast and an article on the CBC website.  The court held that although there were some inaccuracies, they were explained and related to tangential matters.  The defendant had no duty to correct those inaccuracies on its website.  The reporting was largely true and related to a subject of public interest, concerning municipal government and zoning changes.
