Can a master dismiss a student who absented himself from his work from June 26 to July 15?
Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from Lucking v. Thomas, 1919 CanLII 131 (SK CA):
The master in this case says he was justified in dismissing the plaintiff, because the plaintiff absented himself from his work from June 26 to July 15. That the plaintiff was absent is established. That absence amounted to misconduct on his part sufficient to justify dismissal, unless he had his master’s permission to be away. Clouston v. Carry [1906] A.C. 122, 75 L.J.P.C. 20. .
