The appellant, Barry Weisleder, appealed a summary judgment dismissing his defamation action against the respondent union.
The motion judge had found the allegedly defamatory speech was protected by qualified privilege and that malice was not established.
The Court of Appeal found no error in the motion judge's decision, upholding the finding of qualified privilege and the absence of malice, noting that the ample evidentiary record allowed for a summary judgment decision on malice.
The appeal was dismissed.
