A gay married couple from Pointe Claire who say they were harassed by a homophobic teenager have been awarded $15,000 in damages by the Quebec Human Rights Tribunal.
Théo Wouters and Roger Thibault had been seeking $37,000 in damages, claiming the initial apology offered by their young tormenter wasn't sincere.
Wouters and Thibault wanted more. Father and son appealed.
Judge Michèle Rivet gave no explanation for awarding the couple $5,000 each in moral damages and $2,500 each in punitive damages to discourage the boy from engaging in similar behaviour.
