Alberta’s law limiting damages in soft-tissue injury cases to $4,000 is not unconstitutional, the province’s top court ruled today, restoring the controversial legislation.

The Alberta Court of Appeal overturned a lower court ruling which said the law violated individual equality rights by targeting a select group of insurance claimants.

Their lawyer, Fred Kozak, said he was disappointed with the ruling, but hopes his clients will appeal it to the Supreme Court.

“I hope that my clients will wish to continue the fight despite the economic disparity ... between them and the government and the largest insurance companies in Canada,” Kozak said.
