#218 - Supreme Court Recognizes Intimate Partner Violence Tort

In this episode of Borderlines, Steven Meurrens and Deanna Okun-Nachoff are joined by immigration lawyer, mediator, and former Canadian Bar Association Chair Kamaljit Lehal to discuss the Supreme Court of Canada’s landmark decision recognizing a new tort of intimate partner violence.


We discuss how the Court addressed coercive control, financial abuse, isolation, surveillance, intimidation, and psychological manipulation within intimate relationships, and why the majority concluded that existing legal remedies were insufficient to fully capture the realities of family violence.


Topics discussed include the Supreme Court of Canada’s recognition of a new tort of intimate partner violence, coercion and control, the differing views between the majority and dissenting judges, how courts assess damages in family violence cases, trauma-informed approaches in legal proceedings.


The decision is Ahluwalia v. Ahluwalia.
