Carter v. B.C. Federation of Foster Parents Assn. Page 4 materials. He did not follow this up to see that the direction had been carried out. While it appears that the forum was reconstituted as a "read only" site in the spring the spring of 2002, the appellant Carter discovered that the offensive comment remained on the Federation Forum. The evidence is sparse as to whether or not anyone accessed this comment on the forum site between 2000 and 2002.

Later, in 2002, after she discovered that the Dberlane comment remained on the Federation Forum, Ms. Carter amended her claim to include this alleged instance of defamation by the Federation. Eventually, the Federation closed its forum in December 2002. It appears that the directors of the Federation including Mr. Mynott were of the opinion that the offensive material had been removed from the Federation Forum as of the year 2000 but became aware that this was not so when they received notice of the amended statement of claim of the appellant in May of 2002. Following this, they took steps to have the forum site closed but apparently encountered some difficulty in achieving this in a timely way.
