Defamation law in Canada already protects complaints to the Law Society that are false and damaging! Defamation law does not protect, nor should it protect, false and damaging complaints made in bad faith or with malice. Such an immunity would truly make a mockery of the complaints system.

This cannot be good politics. Suing the citizenry does nothing to advance democracy.

This is a text-book case of a defamation lawsuit actually amplifying the defamation.
