The main complainant in the Steven Galloway case can no longer be publicly identified, under a ruling issued Wednesday by a B.C. Supreme Court judge. A publication ban, now in effect, covers the woman’s name and identifying information. It also prevents linking to and publishing information from previous articles that did use her name.
He named the woman in the lawsuit; and some media outlets, including the National Post and CBC, named her in their coverage. The judge says the woman “reasonably fears for her physical safety” based on personal attacks she has already experienced. The judge ruled, “The plaintiff’s interest in vindication through his defamation lawsuit is properly accomplished through trial. ... Nothing in the orders sought will affect his ability to seek vindication through the court process.”
