Université de Montréal c. Côté, 2011 QCCS 833

The Quebec Superior Court granted a permanent injunction to the plaintiff university which prohibits the defendant researcher from communicating with the university, its administrators, employees and professors. The Court held the restriction on freedom of expression was warranted in view of the massive number of emails (and faxes) the defendant sent to people at the university in 2004 and 2005, which stopped after the Court had granted an interim injunction.
