Yenovkian v. Gulian, 2019 ONSC 7279 (CanLII)

[164] The test for intentional infliction of mental suffering as set out by the Court of Appeal in Piresferreira v. Ayotte, 2010 ONCA 384, para. 27 is:

(a) flagrant or outrageous conduct;
(b) calculated to produce harm; and
(c) resulting in a visible and provable illness.

[165] I find that Mr. Yenovkian’s conduct was calculated to produce the kind of harm suffered by Ms. Gulian, or he knew that it was substantially certain to follow: Piresferreira v Ayotte, 2010 ONCA 384 at para 78.
