Quebec dad sued by daughter after grounding loses his appeal
A Quebec father who was taken to court by his 12-year-old daughter after he grounded her in June 2008 has lost his appeal.
Quebec Superior Court rejected the Gatineau father’s appeal of a lower court ruling that said his punishment was too severe for the wrongs he said his daughter committed.
The father is “flabbergasted,” his lawyer Kim Beaudoin told CBC News.
In its ruling, issued Monday, the province’s court of appeal declared the girl was caught up in a “very rare” set of circumstances, and her father didn’t have sufficient grounds to contest the court’s earlier decision.
The family’s legal wrangling started with a dispute over the girl’s internet use.
Absurd.. But it is in a place where the people have made it illegal to teach their children how to converse with neighbors who don’t speak French.
#20 Unless there domestic violence, a court has no bussiness ona family matter. Idiot!

“Like America? WTF, we may have some wack stuff going on here but 12 year old don’t sue their parents around here TARD!”
Nope, you are right, but in the US you can sue if your coffee is hot or if your RV manual does not state that you can’t take a nap while driving.
RE-Tard!
23, We have done some crazy stuff. How about a child suing a sperm bank for liability?:
