The appellants appealed a trial judgment finding them jointly liable for publishing a defamatory 'News Release' on the internet.
The appellant Scharf abandoned her appeal.
The appellant Paquin argued the trial judge erred in finding she participated jointly in the publication, claiming she had no control over the co-defendant's decision to publish the information.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, upholding the trial judge's finding that the appellant provided the defamatory information with the understanding and intention that it would be published, based on admissions in her statement of defence.
