The Ontario Superior Court of Justice dismissed a $300,000 lawsuit from Sheridan Retail Inc., a developer, against engineering student Pierre Roy. Roy raised concerns regarding environmental sustainability and housing affordability related to a proposal for redeveloping the Mississauga Mall and constructing residential towers. Following Roy's actions, which included reporting safety issues and photographing unauthorized construction work, the judge ruled the lawsuit was aimed at intimidation. Justice Renu Mandhane awarded Roy $25,000 in damages and legal costs, emphasizing that the developer's actions caused harm to Roy and his family.
"It was a very stressful situation to figure out what to do, particularly in the middle of one of my final terms of school."
"By claiming damages of $300,000, the developer clearly sought to intimidate a 24-year-old university student and local resident into silence."
