Vancouver businessman given green light to sue U.S. website for defamation By Cheryl Chan, The Province February 9, 2012 The province has jurisdiction to try a defamation suit filed by Vancouver businessman Altaf Nazerali against Patrick Byrne and Mark Mitchell over material published on Utah-based website deepcapture.com. The B.C. Supreme Court has ruled that the province has jurisdiction to try a defamation suit filed by a Vancouver businessman against a U.S. website that linked him to criminal and terrorist organizations. Altaf Nazerali filed a defamation suit against U.S. defendants Patrick Byrne and Mark Mitchell in October 2011 over material published on Utah-based website deepcapture.com. The defendants tried to get the claim dismissed by arguing that publication did not occur in B.C. because there is no evidence anyone here read the alleged defamatory words. “Essentially, it was an attempt by the American defendants to get a ruling that B.C. has no jurisdiction,” said Nazerali’s lawyer Dan Burnett. Nazerali filed affidavits by three Vancouver businessmen who said they were “shocked,” “amazed,” and “dismayed” to read references connecting Nazerali to Al-Qaeda, the Taliban, the mafia as well as to stock manipulation and fraud. The material on the website “reflect the very derogatory meanings alleged in the notice of civil claim,” said Justice Carol Ross in a written ruling released Thursday. “The affidavits, combined with the notice of civil claim, provide a sufficient basis for the court to infer that the defamatory statements were published in . . . B.C., in that they were downloaded or read by someone in the province,” she said. The website statements are very concerning to his client, who plans to proceed with the civil claim, said Burnett. “It can really affect your reputation. It’s pretty outrageous stuff.” chchan@theprovince.com twitter.com/cherylchan Read more: <A href="http://www.theprovince.com/news/Vancouver+businessman+given+green+light+website+defamation/6129062/story.html#ixzz1m1Joa5Yt" target=_blank>http://www.theprovince.com/news/Vancouver+businessman+given+green+light+website+defamation/6129062/s...
