Nova Scotia’s justice minister said she intends to amend legislation to
allow victims of historic sexual crimes to launch civil lawsuits
against their abusers. Lena Diab told reporters in Halifax Thursday she intends to amend last
fall’s Limitation of Actions Act in the upcoming spring session.
“It will deal with passing retroactive legislation with respect to sexual assault,” Diab said. “What the legislation will mean is that victims of sexual assault, regardless of when it happened … can launch a civil claims suit.”
