Can a municipality be prejudiced if it fails to provide adequate notice to a plaintiff?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Langille v. Toronto (City), 2010 ONSC 443 (CanLII):
Where notice has not been provided within ten days, the municipality is presumed to have been prejudiced. That presumption can be overcome by evidence establishing the absence of prejudice. (see Fremeau v. Toronto (City), [2009] O.J. No. 2391, at para. 30).
