According to Justice Paul Walker's decision, the then-45-year-old man — known by the initials MT — followed the victim, RS, off the grounds of his Delta high school one afternoon in April 2009. The attack followed a 'high school spat' between the victim and the son of the man who orchestrated the beating. The man followed the victim out of school and arranged to have him beaten. At the end of the attack, MT walked over to RS and put his arm around the Grade 9 student's shoulder, asking, "Are we all even now?" Supreme Court judge has awarded the victim $479,000 for damages he sustained as a result of a severe beating when he was 14.
