In what circumstances will police be called to a school when a teacher is on stress leave?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Gill v Morgason, 2021 BCSC 874 (CanLII):
These facts are very different to those in Stuart v. Hugh. There, a teacher who was taking stress leave from work, attended at the school and caused a disturbance, resulting in police attendance. In the course of speaking with police about the teacher, a vice-principal told police that the teacher was suspended because of misconduct with a student, and was not supposed to be on school premises. In fact, the teacher was not suspended. Although he was being investigated for misconduct, none had yet been substantiated. Nor was there any proscription on his attendance at the school. The teacher sued, claiming that those comments were untrue, and defamatory.
