Not an exhaustive comparison, just the highlights.
Ezra Levant is in court today fighting:
“an exceedingly political lawsuit” designed to shut him out of public debate, brought by a “master of lawfare.”
The details, so far as we know, include:
Court documents indicate this week’s trial will turn on Mr. Awan’s claim that Mr. Levant, on his blog in 2009, “variously described [him] as “Khurrum Awan the liar,” “stupid, a “fool,” a “serial, malicious, money-grubbing liar,” and “unequivocally implied that he was an anti-Semite and perjurer.”
Mr. Awan is asking for $50,000 in damages.
I will be attending Discoveries on Thursday for Michael Bird’s defamation suit against me. I can’t go into the specifics of what was said that has upset the bishop, but his claim for damages against me is $400,000.
An interesting contrast in amounts sought between the secular and the ecclesiastical.
