What is reasonable notice period for a senior civil servant?

The law on the assessment of reasonable notice is well established. In the seminal case of Bardal v. Globe & Mail Ltd. (1960), 1960 CanLII 294 (ON SC), 24 D.L.R. (2d) 140 at 145 (Ont. H.C.), McRuer C.J.H.C. set out the factors to be taken into account in determining the appropriate notice period: There can be no catalogue laid down as to what is reasonable notice in particular classes of cases. The reasonableness of the notice must be decided with reference to each particular case, having regard to the character of the employment, the length of service of the servant, the age of the servant and the availability of similar employment, having regard to the experience, training and qualifications of the servant.
