Danica Arsenovski and Susan Griffin

Insurance Corporation of British Columbia: Danica Arsenovski and her husband had recently come to Canada as refugees from the former Yugoslavia when they were struck by a car and injured while crossing an intersection in Burnaby in January 2000, according to CTV. After the crash, Arsenovski gave a statement to ICBC through a translator because she does not speak much English. Supreme Court Justice Susan Griffin said in a written decision released Wednesday that the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia and one of its investigators are liable for malicious prosecution, and that their conduct in the case was high-handed and reprehensible. The statement detailed the injuries she received and what she remembered about the crash, but did not specifically say whether Arsenovski herself had been struck by the car or whether she had fallen when her husband was struck and fell into her. Griffin wrote in her decision that John Gould, the ICBC investigator in the case, wrote a misleading report to Crown counsel recommending the charge, intending to dissuade civil claims against the insurance agency. Arsenovski was later charged with making a false statement. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
