The following excerpt is from Paine v Air Canada, 2018 NSSC 215 (CanLII):
The assistant to the appellants also submits that there was a statutory and common law basis upon which to conclude that the onus rested with the respondent. In support of this proposition I have been referred to the adjudicator’s decision in the earlier case of Lachance v. Air Canada, 2014 NSSM 14.
