Is a plaintiff's claim for damages arising naturally from his wrongful dismissal?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Cassell v. Irving H. Miller Limited, 2016 ONSC 5570 (CanLII):
These are not seen as fairly and reasonably arising naturally, “according to the usual course of things” from his wrongful dismissal. Nor can they be reasonably “supposed to have been in the contemplation of both parties, at the time they made the contract.” - Hadley v. Baxendale op. cit.
