Subject: Past and future wage loss and ex turpi

Dear Colleagues:

Some might be interested in the recent SCC decision of British Columbia v. Zastowny. The issue at stake was whether a plaintiff could sue a sexual assaulter for past wage losses, part of which included compensation for time spent in prison. The SCC held that on the facts this was not possible on the basis of ex turpi causa non oritur action.

Happy Reading,

--
