What is the test for a "reasonable cause" claim?
Manitoba, Canada
The following excerpt is from Balasubramanian et al v. Ceridian Canada Ltd. et al, 2003 MBQB 197 (CanLII):
In determining whether an action is a "reasonable cause", the fundamental issue to be determined is whether the outcome of the action is "plain and obvious" or "beyond doubt". [See, for example: Dumont v. Canada (Attorney General), 1990 CanLII 131 (SCC), [1990] 1 S.C.R. 279 (S.C.C.).]
