Justice for Victims of Terrorism Act

The purpose of this Act is to deter terrorism by establishing a cause of action that allows victims of terrorism to sue perpetrators of terrorism and their supporters.  Any person who has suffered loss or damage in or outside Canada on or after
January 1, 1985 as a result of an act or omission that is, or had it been committed in Canada would be, punishable under the terrorism provisions of the Criminal Code, may, in any court of competent jurisdiction, bring an action to recover an amount equal to the loss or damage proved to have been suffered by the person and obtain any additional amount that the court may allow, from specified foreign states.  Ms. Chotalia can help you better understand this Act.
