In an enterprising legal move in the heated proxy battle for
control of Thermo Tech Technologies, Thermo Tech and Rene
Branconnier, its besieged chief executive, have filed a
defamation suit against dissident shareholders, seeking a
permanent injunction on further publication of the dissidents'
circular and related materials. In an endorsed writ of summons
filed Thursday in the Supreme Court of British Columbia,
Thermo Tech lawyer Michael Skene of Ladner Downs targets
David Pickering, Dr. John Pickering, John Holley, Dr. Gary
Baggs, John
Primrose, Robert Pool, Jay Taylor, two John Does and three
Jane Does. Thermo Tech and Mr. Branconnier each seeks
general, special, aggravated and punitive damages for allegedly
defamatory statements. Mr. Skene claims the defendants
published the
offending statements in a September "manifesto," the Oct. 19
dissident proxy circular, an Oct. 23 newsletter and postings to
an Internet discussion board and website.The writ claims the
defendants conspired to cause injury and harm to Thermo Tech
and Mr. Branconnier. Mr. Skene alleges the defendants agreed
to "carry out unlawful conduct directed towards one or both of
the plaintiffs,"although he provides no details. The suit seeks a
interim and permanent injunctions to restrain further publication
of the dissidents' documents and the allegedly defamatory and
"malicious falsehoods" they contain, or similar statements. Mr.
Skene notes that his clients do not know the true names or
identities of the five assorted John and Jane Does. "The
plaintiffs further each claim a mandatory injunction requiring the
defendants to publish a retraction and apology to the plaintiffs
for the defamatory statements contained in the documents, the
malicious falsehoods contained in the
documents and for their malevolent campaign to harm the
plaintiffs,"states the suit.
A full statement of claim has not yet been filed.
