Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from Erickson v. Canadian Pacific Railway Company; Walstead v. Canadian Pacific Railway Company, 1927 CanLII 196 (SK QB):
There are certain exceptions to the general rule which are referred to in Watkins v. Rymill, supra, at p. 188, but in my opinion, there is nothing in the case at bar to take it out of the general rule.
