Alexi Wood and Jennifer Saville are pleased that their article “Tort of Harassment: Crying out for a Remedy” was published in the Spring 2020 edition of The Advocates’ Journal.

Wood and Saville take the position that the currently recognized torts in Ontario do not adequately protect an individual from persistent, unwelcome behaviour that constitutes harassment. They advance the argument that the creation of the tort of harassment is a necessary, incremental step in the development of the law to remedy the harm suffered by persistent, unwanted behaviour.
