Can a probation officer be sued for misconduct by a marriage guidance counsellor?
Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from Kryschuk and Zulynik (Re), 1958 CanLII 150 (SK QB):
In this case Denning, L.J. states as follows: “I take it that the principle of McTaggart v. McTaggart, [supra] applies not only to probation officers, but also to other persons such as clergy, doctors, or marriage guidance counsellors, to whom the parties resort with a view to reconciliation when there is a tacit understanding that the conversations are without prejudice.”
