<p>The anti-SLAPP legislation, more formally known as section 137.1 of the <em>Courts of Justice Act</em> in Ontario and the <em>Protection of Public Participation Act </em>in British Columbia, is arguably the most influential development in Canadian defamation law in the last fifty years, aside from the advent of the internet. </p>

<p>It appears simple in theory. It is not simple in practice. </p>

<p>It was intended to be straightforward, swift, and inexpensive. It has become protracted, complex, and costly. </p>

<p>Written primarily for judges and lawyers in Ontario and British Columbia who are faced with anti-SLAPP proceedings, this text presents a detailed and comprehensive analysis of anti-SLAPP legislation and proceedings.</p>
