Google attempted end run around Canadian courts fails, rules BC Judge in Equustek case — From Barry Sookman: “Yesterday, a judge of the British Columbia Supreme Court dismissed Google’s motion to vary or set aside the global injunction against it that had been affirmed by the Supreme Court of Canada. The injunction required Google delist websites that were being used to market a product that Equustek claimed was developed through theft of its trade secrets. Justice Smith held that Google was not able to show that the global delisting order made [] against it violated its First Amendment rights in the U.S. or the core values of the U.S.”
