In a case that a B.C. judge says demonstrates “malicious, high-handed and offensive” behaviour, a man has been instructed to pay punitive damages to an elderly woman with dementia and forfeit his stake in her $1.2 million home.
B.C. Supreme Court Justice Sheri Ann Donegan described Zoltan Vimhel as a “predator,” saying his treatment of Judith King was “egregious” in a decision issued last week. She ruled that he must not only lose his stake in the victim’s three-bedroom townhouse but also pay her $50,000.
