Proceedings in Which Anti-SLAPP Motions Have

Been Brought

Not surprisingly, almost all of the claims that are the subject of anti-SLAPP

proceedings are actions for defamation. As of the time of writing, there are

119 claims listed on CanLII under “Defamation,” including twenty-two deci-

sions of the Ontario Court of Appeal and the Divisional Court. Some of those

defamation decisions are listed below.

There has also been one claim for breach of contract and one claim for

negligence, which have both been dismissed under the anti-SLAPP legislation.
