TORONTO — An Ontario judge has dismissed a lawsuit from a teen who partially blamed her former high school for dashing her dreams of becoming a dancer and actress.

The lawsuit filed by Tiffany Peters alleged that negligence on the part of staff at Bramalea Secondary School in Brampton, Ont. led to a knee injury she sustained while taking part on the track and field team.

She alleged that injury led to chronic pain and a permanent disability that prevented her from pursuing her aspirations of stardom.

Justice David Edwards of the Superior Court of Justice dismissed Peters’ claim in full, repeatedly describing her testimony as unreliable and her career hopes as “speculation.”

Edwards accepted the testimony of various doctors saying Peters’ current disability has more to do with her current weight than with a sports injury sustained in 2005.

Edwards also cited Peters’ failure to pursue classes or training to further her prospective performing arts career.
