The Supreme Court of Canada has recognized a new tort of intimate partner violence. This landmark decision in Ahluwalia v. Ahluwalia marks a vital step forward for survivors, as the Court now officially acknowledges coercive control as a distinct civil wrong.

This ruling means that behaviours like isolation, emotional manipulation, and financial abuse can directly form the basis of a civil lawsuit. Survivors no longer have to squeeze their experiences into older legal categories that focus only on single incidents of physical or psychological harm.

We know that navigating the legal system takes immense courage. Senior Associate Erin Ellis's latest blog explains what this new tort requires and how it provides another path to justice for those considering civil claims.

"The Supreme Court’s decision in Ahluwalia v. Ahluwalia feels like a real shift. For a long time, intimate partner violence has been pushed into existing torts that focus on specific incidents—assault, battery, IIED—when a lot of people’s experience is actually about patterns of control that build over time. The Court is recognizing that the harm isn’t just what happens in those moments, but what that pattern does to someone’s autonomy and sense of self in the relationship. From a survivor’s perspective, that matters. It’s much closer to how people actually describe what they lived through." - Erin Ellis, Senior Associate

Over the past few days, members of the Jellinek Ellis Gluckstein Lawyers team had the privilege of attending the Transforming Trauma Together Festival, hosted by The Gatehouse at Humber Polytechnic.

This incredible event brings together survivors, advocates, professionals, and community organizations to explore healing, resilience, and social change through creative and trauma-informed approaches. From powerful film screenings and survivor-led discussions to workshops on expressive arts and trauma-informed care, the festival is a profound reminder of the strength and courage within the survivor community.

We are deeply grateful to The Gatehouse for creating this space for connection, learning, and advocacy. It is an honour to be part of such meaningful conversations and to stand alongside those working tirelessly to support survivors of childhood sexual abuse.
