Here's some new law for you

A Canadian woman has successfully sued the dealer who sold her an illegal street drug that put her in a coma. Sandra Bergen, 23, suffered a heart attack and spent 11 days in a coma after taking crystal methamphetamine. Ms Bergen said Clinton Davey had known the drug was highly addictive and dangerous but sold it to make money. Mr Davey refused to name his source of the drug, prompting the Saskatchewan judge to reject his defence - that Ms Bergen had taken the drug voluntarily. Ms Bergen is seeking $50,000 (£25,000) in compensation. A date for a hearing to determine damages has not been set.
