In the Spring of 2023, the former President of the Students’ Society of McGill University (SSMU), Mr. Darshan Daryanani, initiated legal action against 19 defendants. According to the lawsuit, Daryanani is claiming damages for injury to his reputation, health, and earning potential, as a direct result of events that occurred during his presidency.
The McGill Daily and Abigail Popple have reached a settlement to the satisfaction of Daryanani. The parties agree that the settlement is to remain confidential and does not imply any admission of liability.
Daryanani believes that the resolution with The Daily is a positive step.
It is important that all actors in the student political process take into account fundamental principles of due process, procedural fairness and natural justice.
