Case Details
A civil court judge ordered Denis Vranich and Elixir Lounge and Night Club to pay a former employee $300,403 after Vranich sexually assaulted her. Vranich was found liable and Elixir vicariously liable. The award included general and aggravated damages, punitive damages, loss of future earning power, future therapy costs, and legal costs.
Additional Notes
The judgment stands out because the award for pain and suffering is among the highest level in Ontario. Also, punitive damages being awarded against the corporation (who were vicariously liable) is a first in Ontario. The amount owed had grown to $340,000 with interest due to slow payments.
