Calgary Dad Wins Partial Court Victory in Daughter's Death
Aug, 31 2007 - 12:30 PM
CALGARY/AM770CHQR - The father of a Calgary Jehovah's Witnesses teen who died after refusing blood transfusions has won a partial victory in the Alberta Court of Appeal.
The province's highest court has ruled that Lawrence Hughes should not have been removed as an administrator of his late daughter's estate.
The court has also restored his lawsuit on behalf of the estate alleging the Watchtower Society and its lawyers used mis-representation and deceit to convince his 16-year-old daughter Bethany chemotherapy and blood transfusions would not help cure her cancer and were experimental.
However, the appeal court upheld the trial judges dismisal of Hughes' other claims including conflict of interest, undue influence and conspiracy.
