A British Columbia man has been ordered to pay a total of $4,000 in compensation to a Coquitlam company and its two proprietors for posting a disparaging Google review.
The order from B.C. Supreme Court Justice Andrew Mayer comes three years after a hit-and-run crash that precipitated the negative online review written by Hyungdong Lee about Pacific Granite Manufacturing Ltd. and the subsequent $105,000 lawsuit by the company and its owners.
