Surfer awarded more than $75K for 2×4 attack that drove him from Tofino
Nearly five years later, former resident and surfer Clayton Giesbrecht was awarded $75,805 in damages for an “unprovoked, malicious, and uncontrolled” assault in Tofino.
“Being a cold morning, Mr. Giesbrecht thought his car would not move because the engine was cold. He sat in that spot revving his engine in an effort to warm it up,” Honourable Madam Justice Murray wrote in her ruling. Hansen pleaded guilty to the criminal charge of mischief and served a term of probation, according to the court document.
Hansen submitted that the appropriate amount would be $6,000, arguing that Giesbrecht suffered only a soft tissue injury and that there was no objective medical evidence saying otherwise. “This award is intended to convey to Mr. Hansen the message that this type of behaviour will not be condoned,” wrote Murray.
