British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Legere v. The Provincial Health Services Authority, 2013 BCSC 306 (CanLII):
With regard to the question of the meaning of the term “continuing contravention”, I am satisfied that the HRT correctly instructed themselves as the law, as reviewed above. I am also satisfied that, based on the authorities, such as I.J. v. J.A.M., 2012 BCSC 892 at para. 41, and Goddard v. Dixon, supra, at para.150-159, that the question of whether a contravention is a continuing contravention is a question of fact or a matter involving a discretionary decision.
