The plaintiff, Adam (Family of) Davidson, sued Cummer Avenue United Church, Sandra Seepaul, and Hub International Insurance for damages after being assaulted by a third party, Joe, at a drop-in center operated by the church.
The court found that the defendants owed a duty of care to the plaintiff under the Occupiers' Liability Act and in negligence, and that they breached the standard of care by failing to implement adequate safety measures and anti-harassment policies.
The court awarded the plaintiff $7,500 in damages, including aggravated damages, and found no contributory negligence on the plaintiff's part.
