What is the period of reasonable notice required in a civil servant case?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Noseworthy v. Riverside Pontiac-Buick Ltd., 1998 CanLII 2751 (ON CA):

The trial judge concluded that the period of reasonable notice required in this case was ten months. While his reasons do not clearly set out the basis on which he reached this conclusion, it may have been founded on the well-known principles first laid out in Bardal v. Globe & Mail Ltd. (1960) 1960 CanLII 294 (ON SC), 24 D.L.R. (2nd) 140 (Ont. H.C.) at 145: There can be no catalogue laid down as to what is reasonable notice in particular classes of cases. The reasonableness of the notice must be decided with reference to each particular case, having regard to the character of the employment, the length of service of the servant, the age of the servant and the availability of similar employment, having regard to the experience, training and qualifications of the servant.
