Former lawyer ordered to pay $77,000 in damages

A former lawyer and her companion who made the lives of their neighbours so miserable that they fled to Alberta before even selling their home have been ordered to pay more than $77,000 in damages by Quebec Superior Court recently.

Sonia Desrosiers, a lawyer no longer enrolled in the Barreau du Québec, and Renée Jetté lodged or penned during a three-year stretch no less than 22 “malicious” complaints and demand letters against their neighbours before the provincial police, fire department, municipality, the Quebec Human Rights Tribunal, and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA).

“The defendants have in a well-thought-out manner planned and repeatedly committed different acts with the intention of harming the applicants,” said Judge Charles Ouellet in a 15-page ruling.

  1. this is really very troubling when you think that a lawyer is there to protect people from injustice or criminal intent and abuse taking away from them the enjoyment of life.
    when it is the person deemed to protect against this that initiates the cruelty it really is a very scary thing that makes you feel helpless and afraid as a result you tend to want to run. by this point the damage is already done. god help us!!
