Duty of care

By McCarthy Tétrault LLP | 7 Minutes Read January 25, 2021

The duty of care for pure economic loss: How far does it extend? The Supreme Court delivers its judgment in 1688782 Ontario Inc. v. Maple Leaf Foods Inc. et al.

Twelve years after the listeria outbreak at the heart of the case, the Supreme Court of Canada released a 5-4 decision in 1688782 Ontario Inc. v. Maple Leaf Foods Inc. et al., 2020 SCC 35, on November 6, 2020, ruling in favour of the defendant Maple Leaf Foods Inc. This is a consequential decision on economic loss in tort that confirms that there is no general right in tort protecting against the negligent or intentional infliction of pure economic loss in Canadian law, and that the circumstances in which pure economic loss may be recovered remain limited.
