An upcoming hearing at The Supreme Court, which will decide if survivors of domestic violence are able to sue their abusers for “family violence,” could result in consequences for survivors, warns one legal advocacy non-profit. In February, 2025, Canada’s Supreme Court will decide if family violence is recognized as a tort – a civil wrong, for which someone could be held liable. If recognized, the decision would allow for family court cases over family violence, giving survivors of domestic violence the option to sue their abusers for family violence. But the National Association of Women and the Law (NAWL), which is set to appear before the Supreme Court alongside other organizations and stakeholders to present the implications of the decision, is concerned the new tort could give abusers an avenue to sue their victims. “Often, what we see is abusers using remedies that are meant for survivors and kind of twisting them and using them to their advantage,” said Suzanne Zaccour, director of legal affairs at NAWL, in an interview with rabble.ca . “We think abusers may try to use this tort of family violence to sue their own victims.” How parental alienation arguments target survivors Zaccour’s main concern is the argument of parental alienation, a tactic that is increasingly used in custody battles in Canadian courtrooms. The argument is often used by abusers in family court cases when a woman alleges their partner is abusive, Zaccour explained. Sometimes, the abusive party will claim that the other party has been psychologically manipulating their child and turning them against them by repeatedly badmouthing them to their child or falsely accusing them of abuse. In some cases, if the court believes allegations of abuse were falsified to alienate a child from their parent, abusers can be awarded custody of their children. A UN report , released this summer, called the concept “highly gendered”, “unfounded and unscientific”, highlighting that it is “predominantly used against mothers”. Zaccour worries that if the Supreme Court decides to recognize a tort of family violence, abusers will be able to argue that parental alienation is family violence – and that this could force victims to pay damages to their abusers. “We’re seeing that courts are already imposing costs on survivors, taking kids away from them,” Zaccour said. “We think it is likely that courts could also make them pay damages.” “They’re going to say ‘well, my ex alienated the children’ if their children don’t want to see them because they’re violent,” Zaccor explained. “They’re going to say ‘this constitutes family violence, so, she needs to pay me.’” What safeguards are needed NAWL is supportive of recognizing family violence as a tort that can be used in family court – but only with appropriate safeguards. Zaccour hopes that their intervention at the Supreme Court will highlight the implications of the decision and result in protections for survivors being written in. “We’re hoping to inform the court of these risks and, ultimately, make sure that there are some safeguards in the decision,” she said, “to encourage them if they decide to recognize this tort that they do so carefully, making sure judges are instructed appropriately.” Still, Zaccour thinks there is a simpler solution – banning the concept of parental alienation from family court altogether. “They need to legislate that you cannot use this unscientific theory in court cases,” she said. In January, a coalition of over 250 Canadian feminist organizations, including NAWL, sent letters to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Minister of Justice Arif Viranion, urging the government to remove the concept from family law cases. The concept has yet to be removed. Zaccour warned that, if not removed, the concept will continue to be used as a strategy to further target survivors of domestic violence, both in custody battles and in future family violence cases, should the tort be recognized. “If the government doesn’t act, abusers will continue to use this,” she said. “We have to make sure that women don’t face even more consequences.” Support rabble today!

The first night of Hanukkah was a joyous one in Brooklyn, as hundreds of people from all over the country gathered to light the borough’s largest menorah in Grand Army Plaza. Get the Full Story It was a cold night, said Rabbi Shimon Hecht of Congregation B’Nai Jacob in Park Slope, but it was filled with light and celebration. “The first night was unbelievable, the energy was special,” Hecht said. “So many people told us it was the best Hanukkah they ever had.” Hundreds of people attended the celebration. Photo by Erica Price Rabbi Shimon Hecht (left) at the first night of Hanukkah at Grand Army Plaza. Photo by Erica Price Both longtime locals and visitors from far-away cities told Hecht how meaningful it was to celebrate Hanukkah in such a unique way, with so many people gathered together, he said. Brooklynites will head to Grand Army Plaza to light the 32-foot-tall menorah every night of Hanukkah, as has been tradition for almost 40 years. The celebration is meant to “publicize the miracle of Hanukkah,” Hecht said. The holiday marks an ancient victory and a holy miracle — when just one days’ worth of oil left in the Second Temple, in Jerusalem, which had just been reclaimed by the Maccabees, lasted for eight days. Hanukkah carries with it a message of freedom, light over darkness, and the victory of the Maccabees over their enemies, Hecht said. Local Ethan Bonn played the violin at the celebration. Photo by Erica Price “We focus on the oil, the fact that it lasted for eight days and nights is a message to each and every one of us that if we put forth our best effort and search for that will, God will provide a miracle for us,” he said. “And what we think is only a little bit will end up being something that is so much greater than we ever imagined.” Bobby Dweck, a lifelong Brooklynite, had a miracle of his own on Wednesday night as he headed to his first lighting of Brooklyn’s largest menorah. He went to the wrong place initially, he told Brooklyn Paper, and had to rush to Grand Army Plaza. But he made it, and once he arrived, was shocked to be chosen to ride to the top of the menorah to help light the first candle. Getting to the top was “a little scary,” he said, but the experience was “exhilarating.” Bobby Dweck (third from left) found himself unexpectedly riding to the top of the menorah.

Like, seeing everyone happy, smiling, singing, and to be up there and light the candle — I couldn’t believe it. It was really a very special time, and a very special moment.” The first night was celebrated with live performances, fresh latkes, and free gifts for little ones, and the food and toys will continue for all eight. Special guests are also slated to attend most nights — Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso on Sunday, Hecht said, and Mayor Eric Adams on Monday. Seeing the singing, dancing, and gift-giving gave Dweck hope. “You see social media, you think the world’s coming to an end,” he said. “But when you actually meet people, you realize most people are just good people. You walk in and you say, ‘You know what? This world’s going to be OK.’” People sang, danced and celebrated. Photo by Erica Price A young girl snacked on a latke at the lighting. Photo by Erica Price The sheer size of the menorah emphasizes the message of Hanukkah and the celebration, Hecht said. “When people come together at such a massive menorah, it allows for their Jewish pride to express itself in a manner that is greater than what they’re usually used to,” he said. As they celebrated light and miracles in Grand Army Plaza, Hecht said the crowd was also praying for the hostages still held by Hamas in Gaza, more than a year after they were kidnapped. “We are hoping, and we’re praying that we experience a miracle at this time, for the hostages ... that they be released to light, and that they experience a miracle,” he said. “The Hanukkah miracle of light should be with them and their families to be reunited in good health, and that we should have peace in the Middle East and peace around the world.” Additional reporting by Erica PriceShareholder Notice: Robbins LLP Informs Stockholders of the Class Action Against Warner Bros.

The businessman thanked their followers for reaching out and their local community for being “fantastic” since the burglary attempt. Advertisement Ankers, who appeared with the reality star on BBC Three reality show Charlotte In Sunderland, previously said the thieves “tried to rob my house with my two-year-old and my partner who is nearly eight months pregnant, armed with a machete”. He said one of the four men “had a red balaclava on” and was carrying the weapon at the top of the stairs. Charlotte Crosby and Jake Ankers (Doug Peters/Alamy/PA) Advertisement Durham Constabulary were alerted at 7pm on Thursday to reports of an aggravated burglary in Houghton-le-Spring, a town in the Sunderland area.

Strictly Come Dancing's Craig Revel Horwood has admitted to softening his famously prickly critiques, fearing they might now be construed as bullying. Chatting with Radio Times, the Australian dance professional and television personality reflected on his stern approach in earlier seasons. "I have changed my style of judging," he confessed, adding that his comments from 20 years ago were particularly severe: "I was really harsh 20 years ago. When I look back, I think, 'Ooh, that's cutting.'" He expressed concern over today's reception of such blunt remarks, saying, "It would now be classed as bullying, and then I'd be cancelled." However, he clarified his adjusted stance isn't due to the "fear of being cancelled" but rather a change in perspective, now adopting an approach that is "more like a teacher than a judge". His new method involves delivering critiques more gently, revealing, "I used to be very direct" but now Horwood ensures to "wrap the truth in a nice way." Horwood's change in judgment style comes against a backdrop of various stars recounting negative experiences on the BBC One hit series. Actress Amanda Abbington, participating in 2023, previously lodged complaints about her dance partner on the show, Giovanni Pernice, reports OK! . Following an investigation into these complaints, the BBC extended an apology to Abbington, substantiating some, though not all, of the raised concerns. The most series allegations of physical aggression were not upheld, however, and Pernice denies wrongdoing, claiming the investigation did not find him to be a bully. Since the allegations, the show introduced new measures such as introducing chaperones during rehearsals. "Things have to change," Craig declared, recognising the necessity for evolution during the cherished show's 20th-anniversary festivities. "These dancers are world champions they've been taught properly to win, and the only way you're going to achieve that is by someone driving you. That's embedded in their DNA, you can't just change that overnight." "That's very different to a celebrity who's a novice coming in. Celebrities are sensitive because they're in the public domain. They've got reputations to protect and don't want to be seen looking stupid." "So it's about having someone there in the room and guarding both the celebrity and the professional, and also encouraging the fact that it should be fun. They still need to be pushed because we can't get away from the fact that dancing is hard, but it's a light entertainment programme as well." Craig went on to disclose his intention to compile all the negative remarks and alleged death threats he has received over the years into a forthcoming book, aiming to "shame them". Strictly Come Dancing is available to watch on BBC Iplayer.
