What is the impact of a workers’ compensation scheme on a tortfeasor?
Alberta, Canada
The following excerpt is from Rayani v. Yule & Company (Hong Kong) Limited, 1996 ABCA 35 (CanLII):
This case has to do with the interaction of personal liability and vicarious liability of tortfeasors, where the workers’ compensation scheme covered the plaintiff and some but not all of the tortfeasors. This case was argued immediately after Wadsworth v. Hayes, and counsel on each case listened to argument on the other case.
