Gestion YG Inc. v. Les Ecrans Verts Inc., 2015 QCCS 3594

The Quebec Superior Court, District of Quebec, dismissed an application by the defence for a change of venue in a defamation action which related in part to an email sent by the defendant to a customer of the plaintiffs in Quebec (City) and the publication of a legal notice. The District of Quebec was the appropriate venue, because that is where the damages to the plaintiffs’ commercial reputation would have occurred.
