The former KOCW has a real slugger batting DH. Here he is in action for a former high profile client:
"The consequence of your publication has been manifold. Dr. Levin has been hounded by media here in Canada and from around the world. He and his family have experienced significant trauma and embarrassment from a personal and professional viewpoint.
SUMMARY
In sum, the publication of the above-referenced article with respect to Dr. Levin (both by way of the internet and any hard copy produced) is false, unbalanced and quite horrific. We believe that your publication has been undertaken without regard to the truth and constitutes sensationalistic journalism at its worst. We also suggest that the publication was undertaken with deliberate regard to the significant difficulties that long distance litigation would impose on Dr. Levin in his defence.
Pursuant to Section 15(1)(a) of the Alberta Defamation Act, and pursuant to your moral obligation to do so in the circumstances, Dr. Levin hereby demands a complete, full and unqualified retraction and apology. We would be pleased to receive your proposed form of retraction and apology by immediate return.
Furthermore, Dr. Levin hereby demands the deletion of the above-mentioned articles, along with any other stories which defame Dr. Levin, from your website. Immediate deletion of all offending publications would be appreciated. We also request verification of this deletion by way of written notice.
It is our client’s intention to bring suit against you. This correspondence and your reply will be referred to in any Alberta litigation arising out of this matter. Pursuant to the provisions of the Alberta Defamation Act, the nature of your response may have significant consequence in connection with the quantum of damages recoverable by Dr. Levin for your activities. We urge you to seek competent Canadian counsel to review your position with respect to this.
Kindly govern yourself accordingly.
Yours truly,
BENNETT JONES LLP
Grant N. Stapon"
