Calgary
-- A lawsuit that accuses Jehovah's
Witnesses members of contributing to the death of a
Calgary
teen
who refused blood transfusions cleared a major legal hurdle
yesterday as the Alberta Court of Queen's Bench rejected a motion
that would have effectively thrown out the
case.
Lawrence Hughes
was rightfully named administrator of the estate of his 17-year-old
daughter, Bethany, who died of leukemia in 2002, the court ruled
yesterday. As a result, he can move ahead with his $975,000 lawsuit
against the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Canada, its
lawyers, its members and
Bethany
's
mother.
