The defendant, her ex-husband, admitted to having been found guilty of several criminal charges including assault, assault with a weapon, theft and mischief, but countered that punitive damages weren t appropriate because the three months he served as a sentence was sufficient punishment.
Justice Gregory Moore ruled in favour of the woman, saying punitive damages were needed because, while the ex-husband recognized material damages he caused to her apartment and car, he did not acknowledge the physical, psychological and sexual prejudices suffered by the woman. It is also necessary to make (the defendant) understand that he cannot express his anger by physical, psychological or sexual violence toward (the plaintiff) or anyone else, the judge wrote. Neither the plaintiff nor the defendant are identified, by order of the court.
