    According to libel law in Canada, the defendants must prove that they did not commit the defamation or what they said was true. The College has not provided any defense yet and so until they can prove that the claims against them are false, they stand.

    Ya I get that, but somebody leaking a confidential document before there has been a preceding/settlement is asinine.

    Whether the purpose was to garner support for the claimants, expose the dirt on the defendants or simply stir the poop pot, it certainly doesn't help the case.

    What confidential document? A Statement of Claim is a public document and anyone can get it if they go to the courthouse and request it.

    Revelation did a good thing ..........................now we know what it is all about.

    If its public information why should Revelation not publish it ? Its all stuff we wouid like to be informed with..................and we have an OptiBoard Forum that is here for that oupose and not only to discuss why a temple or a lens is blue and not green.

    We should be glad that some OB members go a step further to get and share a public document with the others.

    We can learn more if the ones that know, share with the others. There is not only the usual gang of posters on OB, there are hundreds of others that tune in to get information that interests them.

    Just look at the rate of the number of views that go up on some posts and not on others, while comments by members may stay scarce.

    Optical Magazines will only publish what suits the publisher or the Editor. They will never publish anything that will be said against a major advertiser out of fear for reprisals by cutting the ads.

    So you knew about it, didn't share it, and your giving this other guy crap for it. That makes you just as bad as the plaintiffs. This is common practice in the professions leadership in the US anyway. I once told that a leader in another state was on trial for embezzling money from an organization. A couple years later and the man being accused is a PhD and the one that was accusing was friends with another that did embezzle money from an optical organization. These leaders are doing some "City Wok".

    And the College is given 20 days to file a Statement of Defence after being served with this October 2013 Statement of Claim. Maybe another trip to the courthouse?

    Page 1 of Nov 2013 Amended Statement of claim (http://www.cfact.ca/StatementofClaim.pdf ) gave the College twenty (20) days to Reply by court procedure. This College Reply must by now be filed at the courthouse.
