Justice Elizabeth Raper heard during the Federal Court case that the LiveBetter employees who were responsible for
Ms. Lucas’s care learnt “on the job” and that their training evaluations consisted solely of an online test.
In her ruling, Justice Raper stated that “just as the harm to Ms. Lucas’ family was of the most severe kind, so too was the specific harm suffered by Ms. Lucas.”
“Words cannot adequately convey the extent of the harm endured.”Judge Wendy Strathdee will hear the case at a later time to determine the appropriate sentence.
