The appellant appealed a decision dismissing his action against the respondent.
The action was based on a letter sent to the appellant and copied to the Royal College.
The Court of Appeal upheld the motions judge's finding that the correspondence was inextricably connected to the initial complaint to the Royal College and was therefore protected by privilege.
The Court also upheld the finding that the action was a reprisal, justifying the costs award.
The appeal was dismissed with costs fixed at $10,000.
