Granting such as order for information “would have a chilling effect” on a group’s activities in support of their political and social aims.
NEW DENVER — A B.C. Supreme Court judge has rejected a logging company’s request for a court order allowing them to probe into the social media of members of a Kootenay environmental group.
She said that granting such as order for information about Last Stand would “would have a chilling effect” on the group and others “engaging in expressive and associational activities in support of their political and social aims,” Lyster wrote in her March 27 judgment. The company said it needed the names and contact information of six protest supporters, including their log-in information, when they registered their accounts, and the dates and times of their last 300 log-ins.
“It is incumbent on a party seeking a Norwich order to obtain information of the kind sought by Cooper Creek to exhaust other available means of obtaining the information sought before asking the court to make a Norwich order,” the judge wrote.
