British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from F.G.M Holdings Ltd. v. Workers' Compensation Board of British Columbia, 2000 BCSC 1188 (CanLII):
Statutory breach is not, per se, actionable. The civil consequences of statutory breach are subsumed in the law of negligence: The Queen v. Saskatchewan Wheat Pool, 1983 CanLII 21 (SCC), [1983] 1 S.C.R. 205. Accordingly, the first Statement of Claim did not disclose a cause of action.
