Web libel to cost man $179,000

VANCOUVER -- A Nanaimo man has been ordered to pay more than $179,000 in damages arising from hundreds of libellous statements he made on numerous websites over a four-year period.

B.C. Supreme Court Justice D.A. Halfyard found that Patrick Michael Sullivan defamed Robert Griffin, a 43-year-old resident of Sydney, Australia, in Internet postings from May 30, 2003 up until the trial in April.

A war of words had erupted between the two men on a website used by depressed and suicidal people.

The judge ruled that Sullivan maliciously made false allegations that Griffin is, among other things, a stalker, abuser, harasser, killer, sexual predator, pervert, coward, manipulator and hate-monger who threatens other people with death and violence.

Halfyard said he agreed with Griffin's submission that the statements were "numerous and monstrous," "outrageous" and "so extreme that it is difficult to find case precedents that come anywhere close."

Griffin said that the postings broke him emotionally and physically, ruined his relationship with his girlfriend, made him fearful of going out in public and in large part caused a suicide attempt that required him to consult psychologists.

The judge ordered Sullivan to pay $150,000 in general and aggravated damages for libel, $25,000 for breach of privacy and $4,600 in special damages.He also ordered an injunction be imposed on Sullivan barring him from posting any further defamatory messages on the Internet.

Sullivan could not be reached for comment.
