The Ontario Court of Appeal released a significant decision protecting the rights of Plaintiffs to seek compensation for injuries suffered outside of Ontario.
In Van Breda et al v. Village Resorts Limited et al, the Plaintiffs, represented by Neinstein & Associates were challenged by foreign Defendants (Superclubs) after they were sued in Ontario for devastating injuries sustained by Ms. Van Breda while vacationing at their resort in Cuba. Superclubs operated the Cuba resort and were based in the Cayman Islands; however the Plaintiffs contracted to visit the resort through the foreign Defendants’ agents in Ontario.
The Court of Appeal upheld the ultimate conclusion that Ontario is the proper jurisdiction for Ms. Van Breda’s claims to be pursued.
Neinstein & Associates continues to show its commitment to do whatever is required to advance their clients’ claims.
