Employment Law, Language Rights, and Wildfire Liability
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.
