The plaintiff brought an action against the defendant for damages arising from sexual contact in 1972.
The defendant sought to add the plaintiff's parents and former boyfriend as third parties, arguing they were responsible for the plaintiff's damages due to subsequent abuse.
The motions judge dismissed the motion to add the third parties.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the defendant's appeal, holding that section 1 of the Negligence Act only permits claims for contribution and indemnity between concurrent wrongdoers, not independent tortfeasors whose acts occurred at different times.
