In Hayden v. Stevenson<\/a><\/em>, Madam Justice Jane E.\u00a0Ferguson of the Ontario Superior Court held that the Bill 198 amendments to the Insurance Act<\/em>\u00a0are a “codification of existing law” and in doing so, sided with Madam Justice Morissette in Nissan v. McNamee<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

There has not been unanimity among the judiciary on this issue, as we have discussed in previous posts about Sherman v. Guckelsberger<\/a> <\/em>and Sabourin v. Dominion of Canada General Insurance Company<\/a><\/em>. Those two cases marked a departure from Nissan v. McNamee<\/em>, in that Justices Milanetti and Valin felt that the Bill 198 reforms had been meant to “tighten up” the Insurance Act<\/em> threshold, applicable to motor vehicle claims. At least one other decision though, agreed with Justice Morissette’s view in Nissan<\/em>: Rosypskye v. Stewart<\/a><\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hayden<\/em> is the most recent case to have addressed the issue, but Justice Ferguson referred only to the Nissan <\/em>case, not to Sherman<\/em> or Sabourin<\/em>. Thus, the question of the effect of the Bill 198 reforms remains unsettled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
