The Korean practice of hyodo or filial piety generally compels children to provide economic and other support to their parents.
B.C. Supreme Court recognized the Korean practice of supporting one’s parents when a judge awarded the parents of a Korean teenager $327,634 after he was struck in a crosswalk on Hammond Bay Road in Nanaimo and later died.
Brandon Murdoch, then 35, pleaded guilty in 2020 to driving without due care and attention. A blood sample showed Murdoch had alcohol and prescription drugs in his system. He received a $2,000 fine, a $300 victim impact surcharge and a two-year driving prohibition.The defendants Murdoch and Toyota Credit Canada admitted liability.
“He was active in his church group and high school, played bass in church and rock bands, practiced taekwondo, and enjoyed a strong circle of friends, both Korean-Canadian and otherwise,” Crerar said. Crerar said Jaeheon “broadly assisted his parents, who speak limited English, through translation and other assistance, in business, and in life. He assisted them many hours each week, serving as an interpreter and an interface in their dealings with banks, utilities, medical appointments, and other English speakers.”
