The Supreme Court of Canada has released a landmark decision in Ahluwalia v. Ahluwalia, 2026 SCC 16, recognizing a new tort of intimate partner violence. This is a significant development in Canadian family and tort law.

Importantly, the new tort recognizes that coercive control can harm a person’s dignity, autonomy, and equality within an intimate relationship. A major decision, and one that family lawyers will need to consider carefully in appropriate cases.

We are proud to congratulate The Honourable Louise Arbour on her extraordinary contributions to justice, human rights, and the rule of law, both in Canada and internationally.

From serving as a Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada to leading global efforts as United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights and Chief Prosecutor for the International Criminal Tribunals for Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia, her career reflects an unwavering commitment to accountability, dignity, and justice. Her appointment as Canada’s next Governor General is a testament to a lifetime of principled leadership and public service.

Her legacy continues to inspire the legal community and future generations of advocates across Canada and beyond.

We had the pleasure of attending an evening hosted by the York Region Law Association in recognition of the Honourable Justice Jarvis last week. It was a wonderful evening marked by warmth, good humour, and the pleasure of reconnecting with colleagues.

We thank the Honourable Justice Jarvis for his many years of dedicated service to the Ontario judiciary and his valued contributions to Family Court in the York Region. It was also a pleasure to meet with fellow family lawyers and Family Court judges from across the York Region.
