In recent years, victims of sexual and spousal abuse in Canada have
been turning increasingly to civil courts to demand compensation
for their loss and suffering. In the context of growing public
awareness and denunciation of violence against women and children,
the law must be able to meet the demands of these victims.
Originally published in French, this new and updated translation
identifies and addresses the issues that are raised by the recent
emergence of recourse to civil litigation by victims of sexual and
spousal abuse. It outlines an egalitatian approach to the legal
system, one that takes into account the unique needs of women and
children. This work analyzes the conditions necessary to bring an
action in civil liability for sexual and spousal abuse. It
describes the remedies available within the Quebec "Civil Code," as
well as providing an analysis of Canadian Common Law jurisprudence
on this issue. Finally, the book will also be of interest to
jurists in civil law jurisdictions outside Canada and to scholars
interested in comparative law.
