Nguyen v. Szot, 2017 ONSC 3705

The jury awarded the Plaintiff general damages of $2,700.00 and damages for past income loss of $3,124.00. The Defendant brought a threshold motion following the jury’s award. Justice Archibald concluded that the Plaintiff’s injuries were neither serious nor permanent and that the Plaintiff was exaggerating the level of impairment that he had suffered. Justice Archibald was also critical of the Plaintiff’s psychological expert whom he felt had acted as the Plaintiff’s advocate during testimony. The Plaintiff was ordered to pay costs of $90,790.00 and disbursements of $71,000.00.
