Kids always try to push limits. I think it's the liberal judges that permitted this to happen.

where did she get money for a lawyer?

while I agree Canadian courts suck balls, you guys shouldnt get up too high on your horse. You make very little money suing in Canada (2500$ max for whiplash). As opposed to the millions you can make for hurting yourself while robbing someone elses property down there...

You make a valid point. And i will adjust m judgement based upon your arguement which i find quite enlightening. I guess i could have said i agree

She applied for a legal aid lawyer and used the same one who represented her during her parents' divorce proceedings.

Every now and then we have a stupid result like that here, though I agree that they are less common.

The level of award in the US is generally at what we see as being ridiculous levels because their medical costs are so much higher than ours. Imagine having to shell out $1M a year for home medical care for the rest of your life, because you have been crippled. Up here the largest portion of that would be covered by government.

Unfortunately, I can see that happening here too :(

She probably made Daddy pay for it :zowned:

So trying to ground her and having the courts say no means he failed as a parent?

Talk about seeing what you want to see..

IMO it means the courts failed at letting the parent BE a parent...

Pussification of the WORLD FTL

Right in one.
