Ontario Superior Court records indicate that the legal action initiated in 2014 by Scott MacIntyre was settled out of court on Feb. 13, a few weeks after a mediation session was held to try to end the dispute
. The terms of the agreement are confidential, though court records show the Ontario government was the only remaining defendant. The lawsuit had named Rob Ford and three other individuals along with the province, which it accused of negligence in the beating.
“It was fantastical to think he engineered the attack,” added Mr. Tighe, in reference to the original allegations. At the time of the beating, Mr. MacIntyre was in custody and awaiting trial on charges of possession of cocaine and heroin and uttering death threats against Rob Ford. In Mr. MacIntyre’s statement of claim, the January, 2012, incident that resulted in those criminal charges stemmed from his demand that Rob Ford repay a debt owed by his sister Kathy.
