In a factum filed in Ontario Superior Court Wednesday, lawyers representing Khadr say the legal team representing Tabitha Speer and Sgt. Khadr's factum is a response to one filed earlier this week by Speer and Morris who launched the wrongful death and injury lawsuit against Khadr in Utah in 2014. In early June, lawyers for Speer and Morris filed an application in Ontario Superior Court to recognize and enforce the $134-million judgment. They are now seeking an injunction to freeze Khadr's settlement money, arguing, in court documents, that there is a real risk Khadr "will dissipate his assets" and make it impossible to enforce the judgment. In their factum, Speer and Morris also argue that Khadr could provide some settlement funds to his family members "who appear to be unrepentant supporters of violent extremists."
