Halifax
Negligence
Henry Morgentaler's Halifax abortuary was found liable for negligence in December of 1997 because it failed to provide a patient with adequate care after a 1993 abortion. The franchise was assessed damages of more than $700,000. Justice Douglas MacLellan found that although the client was "emotionally very shaky" and in pain, she was permitted to drive away from the abortuary within 30 to 45 minutes. He said the emotional turmoil resulting from the abortion caused her to faint, and then swerve into oncoming traffic. Justice MacLellan ruled the abortuary failed to protect the woman from harm by permitting her to drive off so soon after the abortion.
