The Supreme Court of Canada has granted Waddah Mustapha another legal swat at the fly that ruined his life.
The court ruled Thursday that the Windsor, Ont., man can appeal a lower-court judgment that stripped him of $341,775 he initially won against a water-bottling company that delivered him a water bottle with a dead fly floating near the top.
Mr. Mustapha maintained in his lawsuit that Culligan of Canada Ltd. ought to be held liable for triggering a phobia of flies that altered his personality and killed his sex life.
Ms. Mustapha ? a Lebanese immigrant with a mania for cleanliness ? won the award in 2005 from Ontario Superior Court Judge John Brockenshire.
