Does anyone know the names of any of the parties? I tried searching the Civil Cases but there are far too many to dig through. Since this is a civil case, the details should be available for anyone to see. I'm also wondering why the newspapers knew about this but never published any names.
These guys would have gone to court. They would have likely had very good lawyers. There would have been evidence provided by the RCMP (and witnesses) and also by the lawyers on behalf of the drivers. The judge would weigh all this and make a decision. It's not like a witness can come into the court and say "that guy was doing 375 km/h" and the judge replies "375 km/h? that's it, I'm selling your cars".
And after all the evidence was presented the judge decided to sell the cars.
Nobody here knows a damn thing about what happened in court, what was said or why the judge made their decision. Until the details of the civil case are known, nobody can say the decision was stupid or the law is stupid.
However, I'm gonna take a wild guess and say the drivers never even went to court and simply "settled". It just doesn't make sense to me that their names weren't released. I bet their lawyers told them they fucked up and they're screwed and they just took their losses and kept everything quiet. Having their names made public probably consitutes a bigger "loss" to them than the money.
