Document Summary

Justice and law may coincide, whereas sometimes it may not (i. e. crime of necessity) Mr. dobson was driving ahead of mrs. dobson. Mr. swerved his car causing mrs. to get into an accident behind him. Mrs. immediately goes into labor and her son ryan is born disabled. When ryan becomes 17, he and his grandfather sue mrs. dobson to make sure she financially supports ryan for life. We cannot say ryan is justified in suing his mother because he was a fetus when the accident happened, he was not a person. Sue said when her lungs are closing in she wants the doctor to kill her peacefully instead of her suffocating. The judge did not allow this because they cannot overturn the law. Canadian law (statute law and case law) (rules) Substantive law consists of all laws that set out the rights and obligations of persons.
