C.O. v. Williamson, 2020 ONSC 3874

In this case, Justice Salmers found a school board vicariously liable for historical sexual abuse of a student by her teacher and ordered both defendants to pay more than $500,000 in damages. This is an important decision as it imposes liability for the abuse on the school board in the absence of any evidence of wrongdoing on the part of the school board.
