Question:

York University claimed that several anonymous authors had published a number of libelous emails and web postings. This action was brought against Bell and Rogers for an order requiring them to disclose the identity of these people so that York University could bring a libel action against them (this is called a “Norwich” order). The emails in question accused the President of academic fraud and alleged that a newly appointed dean did not have the academic credentials claimed. These were purportedly published by a group of concerned York students. Should such an order be made? Explain the arguments (both legal and social) on each side.
