Court Listens to Legal Arguments in Lawsuit Brought by Frank Stronach’s Granddaughter

An Ontario Superior Court is currently hearing arguments in a lawsuit filed by the granddaughter of billionaire businessman Frank Stronach. She is seeking an order to compel the family business to disclose any documents related to complaints of sexual misconduct against him and settlements involving complainants.

Selena Stronach’s lawyers argue that media coverage of the sexual assault allegations against her father indicates misconduct in a corporate setting. They suggest that corporate funds may have been misused to pay women allegedly abused by the Austrian-born businessman.

The lawyers have stated that The Stronach Group has not denied the existence of such documents, hinting that settlements may have been made.

In a statement released by The Stronach Group in June, they acknowledged the charges against Frank Stronach. They mentioned that he has not been actively involved in company operations for several years.

Frank Stronach faces charges of sexually assaulting 10 complainants, including offenses like rape, attempted rape, indecent assault, forcible confinement, and sexual assault spanning from 1977 to this year.

In an interview with CBC, parts of which were aired recently, the 91-year-old Stronach claimed that his accusers are pursuing the cases against him to obtain his money.
