revrnd Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Just curious if this is a new development w/ Ontario lawyers or not. Yesterday a woman in Peterboro who was stabbed & badly injured by the son of her "boyfriend" (who died in the attack) has sued the assailant & his mother ("boyfriend's ex-wife): http://www.thepeterboroughexaminer.com/2016/09/19/lawsuit-filed-against-murder-suspect-thomas-chan-mother-by-woman-injured-in-attack-that-claimed-life-of-dr-andrew-chan Today I hear on the news that the Neville-Lake family is suing Marco Muzzo & the family business for $22M: https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2016/09/20/neville-lake-family-sues-muzzo-family-after-crash-that-killed-four.html I had never heard of a civil suit being filed in Ontario either during or after a criminal case is being tried. In the US the suit that the Goldman & Brown families filed against OJ after his acquitted was well publicized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puzzleboy Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 It's not unusual in Canada either. The Muzzo and Millard families have money, that's the difference; hence, the figures. OJ's case was highly unusual because he was acquitted criminally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
