CASE LAW - Suran v Auluck

This case begins with a street race that took place on August 4, 2008 in Delta. The race ended with one passenger dead and one driver injured. Madam Justice Burke decided liability for the crash on March 24, 2017. She found the driver of the second car involved in the street race 10% liable even though he was not part of the collision and was in police custody when it occurred. What remains to be decided is the amount of damages that the parties are entitled to or will have to pay.

As this is a race, all insurance coverage will likely be void. This would mean that damages would ultimately come out of the pockets of the participants.
