Judge rules in favour of jury trial for B.C. woman injured in fatal train incident

  • A judge ruled that Julie Callaghan will have a jury trial regarding her severe injuries from a train incident on May 26, 2018, while attempting to save Matthew Jarvis from an oncoming train.
  • Judge J. Caldwell emphasized that a jury could reach a just decision, stating, "the legislation and regulations... Are no more complex or confusing than most legislation."
  • Caldwell concluded that the complexity of the case does not justify denying Callaghan's right to a trial by judge and jury.
  • Caldwell noted that it is a fundamental right for a party to have their civil trial decided by a jury, which should not be lightly cast aside.
