Supreme Court of Canada upholds New Brunswick Court of Appeal ruling, finding City of Saint John vicariously liable for former police officer's sexual abuse of children.
The Supreme Court of Canada dismissed the City of Saint John's application to appeal a New Brunswick Court of Appeal ruling that found the city vicariously liable for a former police officer's sexual abuse of children between 1953-1975. The core question was whether the city was liable for the officer's actions during his employment. The initial ruling found the city not liable, but the Court of Appeal overturned this decision.
