Woman sues B.C. city and arena operators after being hit by puck
A civil trial has started in the case of a woman suing the City of Langford, the operators of Eagle Ridge Community Centre and others – claiming she was hit in the eye with a puck while watching a roller hockey game in 2014.
The case started on April 4 in Victoria Supreme Court and, after three days of hearings last week, resumed on Tuesday and is estimated to last 11 days. Performance Plus and the City of Langford owed her a duty of care under the Occupiers Liability Act to ensure the premises were safe, according to her court filing. The claim argues both failed to meet their duties by not ensuring the netting was safe.
