Law360 Canada ( September 23, 2026, 9:39 AM EDT) -- Appeal by appellant from dismissal of her action against her former spouse for damages for sexual assault, assault, battery, and intentional infliction of mental suffering. The appellant alleged that during the parties’ marriage and after their separation the respondent sexually assaulted and physically abused her, mentally abused her, manipulated her treatment providers, and caused her involuntary psychiatric hospitalizations and subsequent mental illness. The respondent denied the alleged misconduct. The parties, who were self-represented at trial, were the only witnesses and there was no objective or expert evidence supporting the appellant’s allegations. The trial judge found that the appellant’s extensive mental health history affected the reliability of her recollection of past events, while the respondent’s evidence was not successfully challenged. He concluded that the appellant failed to prove the factual foundation for the alleged torts. He also found that the claim for intentional infliction of mental suffering was discoverable by about 2008 and was statute-barred by the Limitations Act because the appellant failed to establish that she was under a disability sufficient to suspend the limitation period. On appeal, the appellant alleged procedural unfairness, errors in the assessment of credibility and reliability, errors respecting the application of the Limitation Act, and sought to introduce extensive additional evidence that was not tendered at trial....
