Re: [MBZ] Seeking inertia reel seatbelts W108/114/115
Not sure I agree that "the law limits what can be awarded" in Canada. Part of the issue is that we don't generally have civil jury trials here. We get Judges who are more conservative than juries generally are. The other issue is of course that some jurisdictions, like Manitoba, now have a no fault system so we are not permitted to sue. We get whatever the insurer has decided we will get, if entitled to any compensation.

Re: [MBZ] Seeking inertia reel seatbelts W108/114/115
Don't know about over there but in Oz the law has changed and anyone selling second hand seat belts is legally liable if they fail in an accident, as such it is becoming hard to find s/h seat belts.
