1. NATURE OF THE APPEAL

On February 2, 2013, while driving his van, Mr. Salamone had a heart attack and lost consciousness. The van he was in hit one guardrail and slid along it until it hit a second, then the van left the road and ended up angled over a ditch. The damage to the van and its internal layout prevented a CPR-trained bystander from immediately treating Mr. Salamone.

Mr. Salamone claimed that the delayed treatment caused severe neurological impairments.

On June 1, 2016, the automobile insurance coverage available to Ontarians fell dramatically, meaning car crash victims will now receive significantly less money to help them get back on their feet. The decreased coverage will take effect upon policy renewal. Unless consumers purchase optional additional coverage, the amount of coverage they have will be significantly less than it was prior to the June 1^st changes.

The situation began in 2007 when Donald Best sued 62 defendants for negligence and economic loss. The action was stayed in 2009, and Best was later found in contempt for failing to comply with court orders. In 2012, he accused the defendants and their lawyers of perjury, conspiracy, fraud, obstruction of justice and fabrication of evidence — accusations a judge rejected as baseless.

Covering a computer’s camera doesn’t protect the device from being hacked, but it does prevent a hacker from being able to see whatever the camera sees. Covering a laptop’s microphone can muffle the audio enough to prevent a hacker from listening in, uninvited.
