A $3.8-million lawsuit against community activist Albert Galpin has been thrown out by a Superior Court judge after he ruled that “it was not unlawful in making a request for information that is specifically permitted by legislation.”
Galpin leads a campaign to relocate a parole office from its current site across from Elgin Street Public School.
As a result, he was sued last year by the building’s landlord Bytown Investments and its president Brian W. Karam, who claimed that Galpin’s campaign interfered with his business. The suit also complained that Galpin’s access to information requests about the issue were excessive.
