A-25, ss. 1 “accident”,“damage caused by an automobile”, 83.57.  \nTG and GG were seriously injured in automobile accidents. Insofar as the alleged facts are assumed to be true, they subsequently suffered additional injuries because of faults attributable to third parties. These third parties were, in TG’s case, the medical staff who treated the injuries she had suffered in the accident and, in GG’s case, Sûreté du Québec officers who were allegedly negligent in searching for the crashed vehicle he was in. TG and GG have since been compensated for the whole of their injuries by the Société de l’assurance automobile du Québec (“SAAQ”) under the Automobile Insurance Act (“Act”) . However, they are seeking to bring actions in damages against the third parties in question for subsequent faults that caused them aggravated or separate bodily injury.  \nIn the case of the appeal concerning TG, the parties jointly submitted to the Superior Court the question whether s. 83.57 of the Act has the effect of barring any civil action against a third party in respect of a fault that was committed subsequently to an automobile accident and that caused a separate injury. The Superior Court found that such an action was admissible provided that the existence of a separate fault and a separate injury could be proved. The Court of Appeal allowed the appeal and set aside the Superior Court’s decision on the basis that s. 83.57 barred a civil action against the third parties in question.  \nIn the case of the appeal concerning GG, the third parties in question asked for the dismissal of the action under art. 165(4) of the former Code of Civil Procedure.
