High Court judge Joan Charles ordered the compensation for Angela Badree, of Williamsville, after upholding her medical negligence lawsuit against the NWRHA on Wednesday.

Judge: No bail for murder remains the law
Justice Joan Charles -
NO BAIL for murder remains the law as a High Court judge has delivered her ruling in a much-anticipated decision on the issue.
Refusing to declare section five of the Bail Act, which makes murder a non-bailable offence, Justice Joan Charles said a former murder accused failed to establish that the legislation directly interfered with judicial proceedings or breached the doctrine of the separation of powers to make it unconstitutional.
Charles had been asked to strike down the specific portion of the Bail Act to allow people charged with murder to apply for bail.
