Social Welfare And Section 7 Of The Charter: Conrad V. Halifax (County Of), Teresa Scassa
Social Welfare And Section 7 Of The Charter: Conrad V. Halifax (County Of), Teresa Scassa
Dalhousie Law Journal
The recent case of Conrad v. Halifax (County of) arose as as. 7 Charter challenge to the County regarding the manner in which the plaintiff was treated as a recipient of municipal social assistance. The case raises a number of interesting issues at the intersection of the Charter and administrative law including the scope of the right to "security of the person"; the scope of the principles of fundamental justice; issues of access to justice and the Charter; and the relationship between the finding of a Charter right and the treatment of the plaintiff in the fact-finding process. This case …
Private Pensions – A Legislative Repsonse-Nova Scotia's Pension Benefits Act, Anne Macl. Malick
Private Pensions – A Legislative Repsonse-Nova Scotia's Pension Benefits Act, Anne Macl. Malick
Dalhousie Law Journal
At the 1975 spring sitting of the Nova Scotia legislature an Act Respecting Pension Benefits was introduced and passed.' The Act, though not proclaimed in force as yet, is expected to become operative sometime during 1976. When it does, it will be administered by the Minister of Finance. This article is essentially a specific review of the direction of the Act and an examination of its main areas in the context of the situation which now exists in relation to private pensions - the situation to which presumably the Act is a response. As far as possible, the peculiarities of …

Unemployment Insurance: Policies And Principles Of Disqualification And Disentitlement For Benefits, Daniel F. Potter
Dalhousie Law Journal
Ever since the 1940 amendment to the BNA Act' which gave exclusive jurisdiction in relation to unemployment insurance to Parliament, the thrust of Canada's unemployment compensation system and the basis for its eligibility conditions has been that the claimant must be unemployed through no fault of his own.2 The primary purpose of the Unemployment Insurance Act, 19713 was put succinctly in a recent decision of the Umpire: ... it is not the function of the Unemployment Insurance Act to provide public welfare, but rather to provide aid of a temporary nature to a claimant who is actively seeking work and …

Pensions: A Primer For Lawyers, Joel Fichaud
Pensions: A Primer For Lawyers, Joel Fichaud
Dalhousie Law Journal
This paper has two objectives: first to describe the elements of a pension plan and, secondly, to illustrate the disproportion between the employee's stake in a pension and his control over the pension plan. The paper is concerned only with private pension plans, which covered over one-third of the Canadian work force in 1970.1 It must be borne in mind, however, that many pensioned employees, for example, seventy percent in Nova Scotia, belong to public plans. Ontario, Alberta, Quebec, Saskatchewan and the Dominion have enacted minimum standards for private pension plans. As the statutes are substantially identical, this paper refers …

Involuntary Psychiatry In Nova Scotia: The Review Board Reports (1979-1983) And Recent Proposals For Legislative Change, H Archibald Kaiser
Dalhousie Law Journal
The Nova Scotia Psychiatric Facilities Review Board, appointed under s. 53 of the Hospitals Act1, fulfils many vital functions affecting the treatment and liberty of the patient involuntarily confined in the psychiatric hospitals of the Province.2 Although its proceedings are held in camera,3 the Board fortunately publishes an Annual Report which is tabled in the House of Assembly.4 Neither lay persons aor lawyers are likely to scrutinize these documents and this Comment is intended in part to redress this regrettable disregard as well as to offer some critical remarks. They contain material which will both hearten and disturb the reader, …
