So whats the next case? Women suing coz husband get hooked with short skirt wearing salesgirl of some shop? or may be wife suing some parents coz their daughter was roaming in the mall in reveling dress and they failed to supervise her?
My two cents!
The cases are totally different insofar as the cause of action is different. Only a few American states allow a plaintiff to sue for alienation of affection which actually has a person seeking restitution for infidelity.
**In the Canadian case, the plaintiff (scorned wife) is suing the insurance company for damages resulting in failure to supervise an employee - the infidelity is a by-product of failure to supervise.
Why not get a little back from the person complicit in breaking up the marriage. Though, by the same token, I’d take the ex-partner for all they were worth as well!
