The Ontario Superior Court had ruled against the WRDSB, allowing Carolyn Burjoski to move forward her defamation lawsuit against the board and its former chair.
The court ruled that WRDSB acted within its rights to stop Carolyn Burjoski from questioning the content of school library books during a board meeting.
One lawyer said the victory makes it easier for people to sue for defamation if they’re falsely accused of being transphobic.
Carolyn Burjoski says the WRDSB tried to dismiss her defamation lawsuit but the court ruled she has the right to move forward with her case.
