The province took control of Aylmer Meat Packers’ plant for 19 months before returning it to the company, but ‘by then the business was destroyed,’ the Court of Appeal for Ontario ruled

Ontario’s highest court has ordered the provincial government to pay $3.5 million to a company at the heart of a tainted-meat scandal nearly two decades ago, pointing to the province’s “litany of bureaucratic ineptitude” in temporarily taking over the business.

Aylmer and Clare had sued the province for negligence, trespass and conversion and sought damages, but their claim was dismissed at trial. Lauwers said the trial judge erred in several ways, including by conflating the province’s duty of care with the standard of care. The ruling said Aylmer Meat Packers was considered one of the busiest abattoirs in the province, specializing in processing cows at the end of their dairy production and cows that were unable to stand or walk but otherwise healthy for slaughter.

After the raid in 2003, the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs took control of the plant, which ceased business that day, the appeal decision said.
