While it was the foetus or child en ventre sa mère who was injured, the damages sued for are the damages suffered by the plaintiff Ann since birth and which she will continue to suffer as a result of that injury.

CONT

Unborn children are now considered forseeable plaintiffs and are owed a duty of care by tortfeasors, although this was not always so. The child must be born alive, however, in order to be able to sue.

  • PAJLO
  • Property Law (common law)
CONT

Contrary to the general rule regarding the interpretation of the term "issue", the better view of the law is that the term, as used in the antilapse sections, does not include a child en ventre sa mère at the time of the death of the donee or beneficiary. By legislation in all provinces it does include an adopted child and a legitimated child. In some provinces, by more recent legislation, "issue" also includes an illegitimate child. (Feeney, 2nd, vol. I, p. 114)
