Sex worker sues for non-payment

A lot of clients may not be in the position but I've always thought they should call the cops on rip-off SPs.
I agree with the thrust of the article that sex work should be treated more like other forms of employment. But two things in the article that I thought were kinda interesting.
1. What an odd payment arrangement the SP and client had in this case.
"she spent an evening with a client.... Afterwards, she realized she wasn't going to be paid when the PIN for the bank card he'd given her to withdraw money didn't work."
2. "Multiple attempts to contact the defendant were not successful." Just imagine those voicemails a CBC reporter, "we heard you scammed a sex worker awhile back, and would like to interview you about that", lol.

Hmmmmm.
So what's interesting about this is a court will be asked to force a person to commit an illegal act by paying for sex.
Which could bring the whole thing tumbling down. At least that's how I read it.

If I understand it correctly the SP is in essence asking the court to enforce a verbal contract involving a criminal act. Which is something civil law normally won't do. However if she wins the court will have in fact ordered forced payment for an illegal act.
So does that mean it's no longer illegal? Or does it mean the verbal contract is not legally enforceable if she loses.
Either way big ramifications for the industry.
Good for her. I don’t know how she will do considering purchasing sex is illegal, but who knows, maybe she can fight hard enough and get that changed for all of us.
A client can’t do that because he is not allowed to be seeing an escort in the first place.
If he gets robbed by an escort he can absolutely call the police…escorts don’t have immunity to rob people…and, you can see an escort.
You can’t see an escort. It is illegal to purchase sex services. And don’t go on about buying time, we all know that is bullshit.
But yes, I guess you right, he can press charges and open himself up for being arrested at the same time.
Have to agree, he will dig a hole for himself. Will be difficult for him to explain what he was doing.
I am no expert, but I doubt small claims court could set precedent when it comes to...well...anything. I mean, don't they just have Justices of the Peace handle this? They don't even need to be lawyers...just 10 years of work or volunteer experience.
You’re wrong…if I want to buy an hour of an escorts time, no crime has been committed…no one has said anything about sex being involved, consenting adults can have sex if it turns out that way.
She escort fucked up, she should have got payment up front…but…if they agreed on an overnight deal and he stiffed her by giving her the wrong PIN number, I don’t blame her at all for taking the guy to court.
