Tories ditch Cadman suit against Liberals

[daleo]

OTTAWA — Stephen Harper has dropped a $3.5-million defamation suit against the Liberal Party over the Cadman affair.

A terse news release says the Prime Minister and the Federal Liberal Agency of Canada have agreed to settle all issues related to the suit.

The action has been dismissed without costs awarded to either side and both parties have agreed not to comment further.

Although he never won a court ruling on the matter, Mr. Harper's legal manoeuvring did effectively silence the Liberals on the Cadman affair during last fall's election campaign.

I always figured that this would be then end result. It was just more Harper trickery and abuse of legal process.
