Can a victim of sexual assault sue under a pseudonym?
Alberta, Canada
The following excerpt is from T.L. v. Alberta (Director of Child Welfare), 2006 ABQB 104 (CanLII):
There are some cases where the victims of sexual assaults have been permitted to sue using pseudonyms: Nickason v. Alberta, 2006 ABQB 115 at para. 10. Many of these cases were decided before the leading decisions on the constitutional importance of keeping the courts open. Most of them were not decided on notice to the media, and many do not discuss the Charter implications of a publication ban.
