What is the range of aggravated damages for a plaintiff who was sexually harassed by a member of the Church of Scientology?

Manitoba, Canada


The following excerpt is from Sartor et al. v. Boon, et al., 2018 MBQB 174 (CanLII):

Aggravated damages take into account the additional harm caused to a plaintiff's feelings, including humiliation and distress, by a defendant's outrageous and malicious conduct. Like general or special damages, they are compensatory in nature. Their assessment requires consideration of the entire conduct of a defendant both at the time of the wrongful action through to the conclusion of the trial. They represent the expression of natural indignation of right-thinking people arising from a defendant’s malicious conduct. See Hill v. Church of Scientology of Toronto, 1995 CanLII 59 (SCC), [1995] 2 S.C.R. 1130.
