Attacker sentenced to 3 months, victim unhappy
Ali El Harda was attacked outside an Old Montreal bar in January 2017. He was stabbed so deeply that he needed two surgeries and has had to change his occupation, and is not happy that his attacker has received a sentence of only 90 days.

That’s a CRIMINAL court. He has to go after them in CIVIL court if he wants real justice.

You think scum like that has any money/assets to seize? Plus, Quebec doesn’t give a plaintiff’s side attorney many tools to work with.

david100, crimes like this are not the exclusive domain of poor people. Old Montreal is not a cheap hangout. Some dick with an Audi and an attitude might well be the perp, not a homeless guy.

That is unfortunately the way that he has to go. If the guy has almost nothing… well, he’ll chase him into bankruptcy. If he has something, he gets almost all of it. And if he is lucky, he has a liability policy and he can go after that. But that’s the way our society works. And even after he has the judgement, he has to go and pay for a bailiff to collect.
