On November 15th, the British Columbia Supreme Court awarded $40,000 in damages for defamation and breach of privacy.
The award was based partly on a number of publications made by an ex-husband about his ex-wife that the Court held were defamatory and unjustified. The Court also upheld a privacy claim based on the ex-husband’s use of e-mail communications he obtained from an old home computer and distributed for the purpose of scandalizing his ex-wife.
