A new Saskatchewan law allows people harmed by illegal drug trafficking, including those affected by addiction, to sue drug traffickers for damages in civil court.
Under the Response to Illicit Drugs Act, which came into effect on June 1, individuals harmed by illicit drug activity can bring civil actions to recover damages from people who produce, traffic, import, or export highly addictive drugs, the province said in a June 1 news release.
