Canadian Hotel Sues Guest For $95K Over Bad Review, Bed Bugs
An anonymous reader writes "A guest at at Quebec hotel was bitten by bed bugs, brought some down to the front desk and asked for new room. While the fully booked hotel offers to get him another room in a different hotel, he stays out the night then leaves — telling people at the hotel — some of whom also check out. When he wrote about it on Trip Advisor, the hotel demanded he take it down and when he did they sued him for $95,000."
It was more likely he was sued because his review wasn't bilingual. This IS Quebec we're talking about afterall.
Mod parent up. Article summary is wrong.
But that's why we come to slashdot -- Two stories for the price of one!
The summary is usually different from the article and two separate discussion (one about summary another one about article) are carried out in the comments section. I assume this is intentional, because no editor would allow it otherwise, right? :)
Did the lawyer represent the bed bugs, or the hotel owner?
