The plaintiffs brought a civil action for damages after the defendant’s dogs attacked and bit one of the plaintiffs while the couple was walking their dog.
The action proceeded as an undefended trial after the defendant failed to file a statement of defence.
The court accepted the plaintiffs’ evidence and found liability established.
Damages were assessed for general damages, loss of income, future scar revision surgery, and out‑of‑pocket expenses, as well as housekeeping and a derivative claim under s. 60 of the Family Law Act.
Judgment was granted for a total of $61,559.40 including costs and pre‑judgment interest.
