A Winnipeg businessman has been awarded $500,000 in damages by a Manitoba jury in a civil defamation lawsuit.
Marcel Chartier, a real estate investor and developer, sued Winnipeg businessman Serge Bibeau in 2018 after learning Bibeau had called him a thief to a business associate.
The case was heard in Manitoba s Court of Queen s Bench last week and after two hours of deliberation, a jury sided with Chartier and awarded him $500,000 in damages. It s very much a big deal. It s not a minor suggestion that someone s a thief, said Robert Tapper, Chartier s lawyer. That s as bad as it gets.
