That is pretty remarkable. I don't know anything about Canadian law, but in the US, a civil suit has a lower standard of evidence than a criminal suit, so maybe that's why they went with a civil suit here.

I also find it interesting that since the drug dealer wouldn't give up his source, he wasn't allowed to use a certain argument in his defense. Wonder what the Judge's reasoning for that was.
