U.S. judge puts halt to Canadian court order for Google to delist search results
A California judge is putting a halt to a Canadian court order for internet giant Google to delist some of its search results worldwide.
It says Canada’s top court overstepped its bounds and the right to free speech online.
In June, the Supreme Court upheld a 2015 B.C. court ruling that ordered the popular search engine to wipe out references to a former distributor accused of stealing trade secrets from a small British Columbia company.
Google unsuccessfully argued before Canada’s high court that Canadian courts didn’t have legal authority to impose such an injunction.
