: Wise Law BlogSupreme Court of Canada - Flies in The Water Bottle
By Garry J. Wise, Wise Law Office, Toronto
The Supreme Court of Canada heard argument today in the case of Wadda Mustapha, an Ontario man who sued a home drinking water supplier for damages, after finding dead flies at the bottom of a water bottle in his home.
Mr. Mustapha claimed damages for emotional distress, depression, phobia and anxiety.
A 2005 Ontario trial court's ruling that granted him damages of $341,775.00 was overturned by the Court of Appeal for Ontario in 2006.
The Plaintiff then appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada. A decision is expected in approximately six months.
