Canwest has dropped its lawsuit against a Vancouver printer in a case involving a parody of the Vancouver Sun.
The parody, which included headlines such as “Study Shows Truth Biased Against Israel,” mocked Canwest’s coverage of the Middle East. The media company is suing those responsible for the parody, claiming copyright violation and trademark infringement.
B.C. Supreme Court Justice Elliott Myers approved Thursday a new statement of claim that does not include Vancouver printer Horizon Publications and its general manager as defendants.
The new statement of claim also drops allegations that the remaining defendants, Gordon Murray and Carel Moiseiwitsch, committed the civil wrongs of conspiracy and injurious falsehood.
Lawyers for the two sides appeared Thursday in Supreme Court Chambers before Justice Myers on an appeal of a November ruling by Supreme Court Master Alan Donaldson.
What a stupid bloody lawsuit. It's the bloody Vancouver Sun! What, some small parody newspaper is a threat to them?
