A
Quebec-based Resolute Forest Products Inc. is suing Greenpeace for $7 million,
accusing the environmental group of defamation, malicious falsehood and
intentional interference with economic relations.
In
the 40-page suit filed in Ontario Superior court in late May, Resolute alleges
the conservation agency has damaged the company's "business, goodwill and
reputation."The company lists multiple incidents, beginning in December 2012, where it says Greenpeace wrongly accused the company of logging in areas it shouldn't have been and not honouring the pensions of company retirees.
