What are the relevant factors in a claim for wrongful dismissal?

Nova Scotia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Beairsto v Cook, 2018 NSCA 90 (CanLII):

While the list of relevant factors is not a closed one, they must relate to the situation immediately prior to the alleged date of wrongful removal or retention. That is what the Hague Convention directs. To do otherwise would be an error in principle (see: Ellis v. Wentzell-Ellis, supra at paras. 31-33).
