Manage episode 425494044 series 2899369
Can employers terminate employees without cause, and what are the legal nuances involved? Michael Mulligan from Mulligan Defence Lawyers to unravel a recent Court of Appeal decision in British Columbia surrounding wrongful dismissal, notice, and an employment contract. We dissect the case of a senior employee from Harbour Air Seaplanes who was let go during the COVID-19 pandemic and examine how the interplay between federal legislation and common law could influence compensation beyond the statutory minimums.
But that's not all. We also tackle the significant ramifications of a landmark Supreme Court of Canada ruling on language rights in criminal courts. This decision, stemming from a British Columbia case, mandates judges to ensure accused individuals are informed of their language rights, causing a ripple effect throughout the judicial system. Finally, we delve into liability issues under the BC Wildfire Act, spotlighting a judicial review that overturned hefty penalties for a man whose extinguished fire reignited. This episode promises a comprehensive tour through pressing legal landscapes, from employment law to language rights and wildfire liability.
