On February 11, 2026, the Quebec Court of Appeal (the Court) in A.B. c. Google, 2026 QCCA 157, considered, for the first time, the issue of the liability of an intermediary whose search engine indexes a link leading to undisputedly false and defamatory information, where the intermediary did not author the post or reproduce its contents. Among other findings, the Court ordered Google to pay $1,500,000 in punitive damages for doing so.
