This exercise is based on End-of-Chapter case "Dhingra v. Dhingra, 2012 ONCA 261 (CanLII)".
Dhingra was the beneficiary of his wife's life insurance policy. He was charged with murdering her but was found not criminally responsible because of a mental disorder. He applied to have the insurance proceeds paid to him. The Court refused his application because of the public policy rule that prohibits a person from benefiting from his criminal acts.
Should the public policy rule apply when the person who has committed the crime is found not criminally responsible for the crime?
