Tort 2026 BCSC 189

W.A.M. v. British Columbia (Attorney General)

Because the alleged tortious acts occurred in or about 1972, prior to August 1, 1974, binding authority establishes Crown immunity for pre-CPA private law claims and thus there is no genuine issue for trial; separately, defending within the parameters of the Rules (including conducting examinations for discovery and amending pleadings) does not give rise to a novel duty to apply a "trauma-informed response" nor to a reasonable claim for intentional infliction of mental suffering, so those pleaded causes of action disclose no reasonable prospect of success and must be dismissed.

  • Crown immunity
  • Statute retroactivity
  • Trauma-informed response
  • Duty of care
  • Intentional infliction of mental suffering
  • Summary judgment
