A significant development from the Supreme Court of Canada recognizing the profound and lasting harms caused by intimate partner violence.
The SCC released its decision today, in the case of Ahluwalia v Ahluwalia. In a split decision of 6-3, the Court ruled in favour of creating a new “tort of intimate partner violence”.
This landmark decision strengthens legal recognition of coercive control and abuse within civil claims. Survivors deserve to be heard, protected, and supported. ⚖️
