Lawyer for ‘Freedom Convoy’ organizers facing libel notice over inquiry claims
The letter concludes by demanding Miller “cease and desist immediately” and “correct” his “false statements.”
“A formal notice of libel is forthcoming, and we expressly reserve all of our clients’ legal rights and remedies.”Speaking outside the inquiry on Tuesday prior to the cease and desist being made public, Miller faced questions from reporters asking whether he was concerned about being sued for the allegation he made.“We also have privileges for things of which we say in a courtroom — and the reason that that exists is so that lawyers can do their job and witnesses can tell the truth.
He said he didn’t care about Enterprise’s “little announcement yesterday,” referring to the government relation firm’s statement that they were considering their legal options.“If they want to bring that, I would be happy to do so and defend it, and get discovery, and get their records.” Miller proceeded to reiterate the assertion during his questioning of Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino on Tuesday afternoon, after receiving the cease and desist.
The Freedom Corp. lawyer also told the inquiry he had filed an “affidavit” from an individual “who identified this man, and the man is Mr. Brian Fox, according to that affidavit.”
