Is the reference to the supoena a threat Evelyn? I thought that the
whole anonymous posting thing on blogs was settled by the Morris vs the 3 judge
*******
No threat intended. . I just noticed it in a passing headline on T.V.
and thought it might be of interest. I said I thought it was an American Police Force that was trying to bring down that wall.
I had read the decision published here. Part of it dealt with the non- case argued by the complainant.
For all the town money spent on it.
All the same, I don't think the argument about the right to anonymously comment on a blog is going away, as long as public money is available to be spent on it.
Recently I read in solicitor/client advice, a municipality cannot sue for defamation. Yet we did. On advice from the same lawyer.
It fascinated me how the same could be argued, for or against,depending upon how the wind blew for the the Mormac
crew
As much as the realisation that no matter the legal devices the Province has in place to protect public interest, they are all for nought, as long as politicians can find a lawyer to offer advice expected of him.
I expect we will continue to see lawyers assail the Charter of Rights and Freedoms as long as public funds are available to pay the fees.
I even heard it suggested recently the Harper government might try to undermine the Charter. Considering agreement of Provinces
would be required to change the Constitution of which the Charter is a part, it would be no easy task.
Still, if Prime Minister Harper became convinced the cause was righteous, I think he would try.
Mr Harper's group are in court next week over some alleged voting problems. He is also being sued by Helen Guergis. Busy boy.
ReplyDeleteHave you noticed that so far this year you're on track to eclipse your record for posts in a year?
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work
There are new rules coming for lawyers which will/may restrict them from handling any cases that might/maybe/ could conflict with other clients in the same firm. They will be held to a higher standard on conflict of interest - if and when the lawyers and their various bodies of representatives can ever agree on the new rules. Not to hold your breath.
