The plaintiff brought an undefended action for defamation against two defendants regarding a letter distributed in their First Nations community.
The court dismissed the action against one defendant due to insufficient evidence of her involvement in creating or distributing the letter.
The court found the second defendant liable for defamation, as she signed the letter which imputed improper conduct to the plaintiff.
The court awarded $5,000 in general damages but dismissed claims for aggravated, punitive, and income loss damages due to lack of evidence.
