Dean French's lawyer Gavin Tighe confirmed Monday that the suit launched against Randy Hillier, who is now an independent legislator, has been dropped.
French, who resigned from his job earlier this month, filed the suit in June alleging that shortly after Hillier was kicked off the Tory team he began a libellous and defamatory campaign against him. Hillier posted a series of tweets alleging French was involved in criminality and misconduct in two leadership races, one in Alberta and one in Ontario, Tighe said in the statement of claim. They were fabricated and completely unsupported allegations, he wrote.
Last month, French abruptly left his job as Ford's top adviser after it first emerged that people connected to him were given lucrative foreign postings. French did not respond to a request for comment Monday.
Now that Dean French can't abuse his position in Doug Ford's office, I guess it's harder for him to bully and harrass people into silence.
