FREDERICTON -- Canadian lawyers are applauding a precedent-setting
judgment for decades-old child abuse in New Brunswick, saying it's an
important moment as more sex-abuse victims come forward to seek justice.
A 52-year-old woman was awarded $188,914 by the Court of Queen's Bench, including $125,000 for pain and suffering. "It knocked my socks off," said Rob Talach, a London, Ont.-based injury lawyer, who deals with sexual assault cases across Canada.
