What happens when a 24-year-old student takes on a powerful developer—and wins?
Gavin Tighe and Stephen Thiele dig into Sheridan Retail Inc. v. Roy, a landmark Ontario case that captures the very essence of anti-SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation) legislation.
They unpack the David-and-Goliath dynamics between a large developer and a university student who dared to speak up about potential code violations in a redevelopment project.
