New Brunswick, Canada


The following excerpt is from Doran v. Fredericton Direct Charge Co-Op, 2011 NBQB 293 (CanLII):

In Bardal v. Globe & Mail Ltd. (1960) 234 D.L.R. (2d) 140, the test for determining a reasonable notice period was formulated: There could be no catalogue laid down as to what was 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.
