The lawsuit was filed recently in Ontario Superior Court of Justice, nearly two years after the death of Nicholas Cameron in a collision on Toronto’s Gardiner Expressway

. The city is currently looking for companies to provide training for ride-hailing drivers, but has left undefined the form this instruction will take.

The suit, the allegations of which have not been tested in court, seeks $3.5-million in damages for Ms. Hawkes. It seeks another $3.5-million for Mr. Cameron’s girlfriend, Monika Traikov, who was also injured in the crash. The city’s current vehicle-for-hire bylaw, which took effect at the start of the year, was passed last summer. In a reversal from three years earlier, when they had last tried to regulate ride-hailing, council decided to make driving training mandatory and directed staff to “give consideration” to instruction programs that included an in-car and/or in-class component.
