What is the impact of reputation damage on a lawyer's reputation in a sexual harassment case?
Canada (Federal), Canada
The following excerpt is from Bédirian v. Canada (Attorney General), 2006 FC 1239 (CanLII):
A lawyer’s reputation is of essential importance and is the cornerstone of his or her professional life (Hill v. Church of Scientology of Toronto, 1995 CanLII 59 (SCC), [1995] 2 SCR 1130). I would add that in my view, the adjudicator can in such a case consider the evidence of past facts that caused an aggravation of the prejudice caused to the applicant and for the stigma to be maintained when the sexual harassment complaint had been dismissed.
