Calgary — An Alberta court has dismissed large parts of a $975,000 lawsuit that accuses Jehovah’s Witness members of contributing to the death of a Calgary teen who refused blood transfusions.

Lawrence Hughes had sued several parties in the death of his 17-year-old daughter, Bethany, from leukemia in 2002, including his ex-wife, the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Canada, its lawyers and its members. But a judge struck down most of the claims, except for those brought by Mr. Hughes, who is the administrator of his daughter’s estate, on her behalf.

A lawyer for Arliss Hughes, the girl’s mother, said the claim against her was withdrawn before last week’s hearing. Mr. Hughes said in a written statement that he plans to appeal the decision.
