In a letter dated May 23 and received today, counsel for NB Power, Marc Bosse, announced it was discontinuing its liable action against Energy Probe and Tom Adams.

NB Power had filed a Statement of Claim alleging that some of our published statements about the utility’s management of financial, operational, and nuclear safety issue were defamatory. Energy Probe responded to the utility’s claims by thoroughly documenting the truth of all of the impugned statements.
