SCC releases Crookes v. Newton on hyperlinking

October 19, 2011 Alan Macek

The Supreme Court of Canada released its decision in Crookes v. Newton, 2011 SCC 47. With three sets of reasons concurring in the result, the Court held that the use of a hyperlink cannot, by itself, amount to publication even if the hyperlink is followed and the defamatory content accessed.
