The standard for establishing that a harassment complaint was made in bad faith is high. It entails more than just poor judgment or negligence. It implies the conscious doing of a wrong for a dishonest purpose or due to moral underhandedness on the part of the complainant. It is characterized by an intention to mislead. 2, record 1, English, - in%20bad%20faith

Il existe une norme stricte pour déterminer qu’une allégation est faite de mauvaise foi. Il ne s’agit pas simplement d’un cas où une personne a fait preuve de mauvais jugement ou de négligence. Cela sous-entend la perpétration consciente d’un tort à des fins malhonnêtes ou en raison d’une supercherie morale de la part de la partie plaignante. Elle suppose une intention d’induire en erreur. 2, record 1, French, - de%20mauvaise%20foi
