Plagiarism

In 2009, Quebec Superior Court Justice Claude Auclair, in a 240-page decision, awarded Claude Robinson $5.2 million in damages and total vindication in his case. In the 1990s, Cinar, now renamed Cookie Jar Entertainment, plagiarized the work Robinson had previously unsuccessfully presented to them in the 1980s. The company appealed the decision.
