On November 12, 2019, Stockwoods lawyers Justin Safayeni and Pam Hrick appeared at the Supreme Court of Canada in an appeal dealing with the scope and application of Ontario’s anti-SLAPP legislation. Representing a coalition of the Centre for Free Expression, the Canadian Association of Journalists, and the Communications Workers of America / Canada, they submitted that this type of legislation should be interpreted robustly to provide strong protection for expression on matters of public interest. The coalition’s factum is available here.
