Does a past practice of granting consent benefits result in an accrued right to the benefits?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Patrick et al v. Telus Communications Inc., 2006 BCSC 854 (CanLII):
No cases were submitted in which a court held that a past practice of granting consent benefits had resulted in an accrued right to those benefits or otherwise binding the employer to continue granting consent in the future. Mair v. Stelco Inc., supra, is authority only for the proposition that past practice may indicate or limit the manner in which discretion must be exercised; past practice does not dictate the result.
