Is there a statutory or common law basis upon which to conclude that the onus of liability rests with the respondent?

Nova Scotia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Paine v Air Canada, 2018 NSSC 215 (CanLII):

The assistant to the appellants also submits that there was a statutory and common law basis upon which to conclude that the onus rested with the respondent. In support of this proposition I have been referred to the adjudicator’s decision in the earlier case of Lachance v. Air Canada, 2014 NSSM 14.
