Defamation 2026 BCSC 431

Heller v. Law Society of British Columbia

Application to strike the defendant's Response is dismissed because, assuming the truth of pleaded facts, the Response is not plainly and obviously devoid of reasonable defences; the pleaded contextual facts are capable of supporting defences of fair comment, qualified privilege and responsible communication, and discovery and malice issues are matters for trial or separate process.

  • Strike pleadings (rule 9-5)
  • Qualified privilege
  • Fair comment
  • Responsible communication
  • Abuse of process
  • Discovery and notice to admit

Administrative law 2026 NSSC 56

Hogg v. College of Paramedics of Nova Scotia

The Amended Statement of Claim is plain and obviously unsustainable: named committees are not legal entities; section 100 of the Paramedics Act grants statutory immunity that, on the pleaded facts, bars claims against the College Defendants; the Lawyer Defendants owed duties to their client and the ASOC fails to plead material facts necessary to sustain the alleged torts against them; summary judgment is warranted unless plaintiff is permitted to amend and does so by the court deadline.

  • Statutory immunity
  • Summary judgment on pleadings
  • Misfeasance in public office
  • Defamation
  • Intrusion upon seclusion
  • Intentional infliction of emotional distress

Administrative law 2026 NSSC 46

Doe v. Nova Scotia (Provincial Dental Board)

The motion for a confidentiality order is denied because the applicant failed to satisfy the Sherman Estate three-step test: there was no evidence that court openness posed a serious risk to an important public interest, no necessity shown that alternative measures would not prevent any risk, and no proportionality analysis supported restricting openness; accordingly the prothonotary's interim confidentiality order is rescinded.

  • Confidentiality orders
  • Open courts principle
  • Publication ban
  • Judicial review
  • Disciplinary hearings
