| Davison v N.S. Construction Safety, upheld in the N.S. Court of Appeal |
2006 |
|
One reason for the apparently low range of the awards is that medical evidence was not routinely offered, or at least this was suggested by the Nova Scotia Board of Inquiry. In the same case the Board ordered $3,000 in general damages and $7,000 for punitive damages for reprisal and a further $3,000 for reprisal against the employer due to the actions of its Board. The Court of Appeal set aside the punitive award. The CA distanced itself on the issue of the need for medical evidence.
