I attended a training hosted by the Canadian Centre for International Justice at the beginning of the semester where one of the lectures was on the Kazemi issue. This morning, I stumbled across this straightforward summary of the judgement:
The Quebec Superior Court took almost a year to issue its judgment on the state immunity issue. When it finally came in late January, it was a very mixed result. The court permitted Stephan’s individual claims to proceed on the basis of the existing exception written into the SIA that eliminates immunity for injuries suffered inside Canada. It found that the nervous shock Stephan suffered as a result the mistreatment of his mother could fall under this exception. His individual part of the case will proceed and it will certainly be significant – the first trial of its kind in Canada.
