A very dangerous precedence may be set here... Comments anyone and everyone? By the way, I'm not familiar with any of these posters' aliases, or the stock or the company or any of the other factors in this story. I just think this judge may have crossed the line between good jurisprudence and bad jurisprudence given that his "decision" and "order" was ex-parte. Global Investment.com Financial Inc - Street Wire clipcloppers face precedent-setting judge's ban Global Investment.com Financial Inc GIV Shares issued 19,094,960 Dec 2 close $0.64 Thu 2 Dec 99 Street Wire See (U:CLOPF) Street Wire by Brent Mudry Although his equestrian promotion is trading at a pedestrian 20 U.S. cents on the OTC Bulletin Board, Vancouver stock promoter John Henry is making a name for himself and clipclop.com in the embryonic field of Internet media law. After a brief court hearing on Tuesday, Mr. Henry's lawyer Darrell Roberts emerged with a precedent-setting injunction, good for eight days, which if it stands and spreads, could slow down busy Internet stock chat sites to a virtual crawl. A sampling of clipclop chatter that has Mr. Henry up on his high horse is the usual chat room drivel in which posters routinely call those they do not like, crooks, crooked promoters, stock manipulators, hypesters, string-pullers, dot.com-crazed followers, public dupers, yo-yos, pump and dumpers, grandiose planners and evidently any other insult that comes to mind.

The decision is a first in Canada. Mr. Roberts notes the Internet is so new that he was unable to cite any similar previous Canadian decisions, and he now knows of just two U.S. cases in which Yahoo Finance was sued last year by companies seeking to unmask anonymous posters. It is not yet known what the outcome of either case was. The suit was filed in court last Friday, the ex-parte hearing was held on Tuesday morning, and the judge rendered his decision that afternoon. Mr. Roberts notes that ex-parte cases require a "very stringent test," and after mulling over the case at lunch on Tuesday and hearing some further brief submissions afterwards from Mr. Roberts, Judge Fraser quickly handed down his decision, in the form of oral reasons. The judge's decision is not yet available in written form, but a notable quote is.
