The following excerpt is from Fox (Estate of) v. Stelmaszyk, 2002 CanLII 17725 (ON SC):
The plaintiffs also claim punitive exemplary and aggravated damages. They maintain that this case is one that cries out for such an award. I was referred to the case of Whiten v. Pilot Insurance Co., [2002] S.C.C. 18.
