About this episode

The episode discusses the Supreme Court of Canada's decision on intimate partner violence and its implications for various areas of law.

Joseph Neuberger and Diana Davison break down the Supreme Court of Canada’s landmark decision in Ahluwalia v. Ahluwalia, 2026 SCC 16, which recognizes a new tort of intimate partner violence. They examine how coercive control, family law, tort law, and criminal law now intersect, why the dissent warns the ruling may create confusion for courts and litigants, and how this decision could affect future claims involving domestic abuse, financial control, psychological harm, family court litigation, and proposed Criminal Code changes.
