Quebec Superior Court judge dismisses Charest's $700,000 abuse of process claim against Quebec government for leaks in 2017 probe.
Quebec Superior Court judge dismissed Jean Charest's $700,000 claim against the Quebec government for abuse of process. The case involved leaks to journalists in 2017 about a probe into alleged illegal Liberal party financing during Charest's tenure as premier. Charest was never charged and claimed the leaks tarnished his reputation and affected him personally. Justice Gregory Moore ruled that the province did not act abusively and did not take an excessive amount of time in responding to document requests.
