Psychologist and author Jordan Peterson will be appealing the court ruling that he must comply with an order from his profession’s regulatory body to take social media coaching, his lawyers say.

The law firm representing Mr. Peterson, Henein Hutchison Robitaille, issued a statement on Aug. 23 announcing they have been instructed to seek leave to appeal to the Ontario Court of Appeal. This decision follows an Aug. 23 ruling against Mr. Peterson by the Ontario Divisional Court.
