What is the test for informing a person of a claim?

Nova Scotia, Canada


The following excerpt is from 3076525 Nova Scotia Limited v. Nova Scotia (Environment), 2017 NSSC 67 (CanLII):

The appellant argues that a person must be informed of a case against him and be afforded a fair opportunity to respond, and cites Kane v. University of British Columbia, 1980 CanLII 10 (SCC), [1980] 1 S.C.R. 1105 in support of that proposition. In particular, para. 4 is referenced: 4. The tribunal must listen fairly to both sides giving the parties to the controversy a fair opportunity for correcting or contradicting any relevant statement prejudicial to their views.
