TORONTO -- Leasing associations are applauding a move by the Ontario government to cap vicarious liability for owners of rented or leased vehicles.
The Ontario Ministry of Finance introduced vicarious liability reform legislation on Nov. 2. The proposed law would freeze vicarious liability for owners of rented and leased vehicles at $1 million, and that exposure is also reduced by any amount recovered from the actual operator of the vehicle, whose insurance becomes primary under the proposal.
