British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Lau v. Royal Bank of Canada, 2017 BCCA 253 (CanLII):
Similarly, in Wallace v. United Grain Growers Limited, 1997 CanLII 332 (SCC), [1997] 3 S.C.R. 701, 152 D.L.R. (4th) 1 [Wallace], Mr. Justice Iacobucci said: 94 Thus, for most people, work is one of the defining features of their lives. Accordingly, any change in a person’s employment status is bound to have far-reaching repercussions. In “Aggravated Damages and the Employment Contract”, supra, Schai noted at p. 346 that, “[w]hen this change is involuntary, the extent of our ‘personal dislocation’ is even greater.”
