What is the impact of being in the presence of successive term contracts?
Canada (Federal), Canada
The following excerpt is from Lord v. Conseil des Atikamekw d'Opitciwan, 2011 FC 555 (CanLII):
He also argues that the panel could not base its decision on the simple fact of being in the presence of successive term contracts. It also had to take into account the fact that, at the time the contracts expired, the parties were already bound by a new contract, which shows continuity. The applicant did not find it relevant that he had not been on the work premises during the summer (Ferguson v. Wills Transfert Ltd, [2002] C.L.A.D. No. 222, applicant’s memorandum, pages 140 and 141).
