Abstract

The law in Alberta regarding wrongful dismissal is at odds. The source of this schism is the moment of breach when an employee is dismissed with insufficient notice. The “Mandatory Notice” doctrine holds it is at the moment of termination, while the “Contractual Option” doctrine holds that the breach occurs on failure to provide reasonable notice or pay in lieu of notice. While the Mandatory Notice doctrine is considered trite law in other jurisdictions, Alberta has continued to develop case law supporting the Contractual Option. However, the Contractual Option doctrine suffers from several fatal flaws which highlight illogical theoretical and practical results flowing from its application. Therefore, this trend must reverse and Alberta must return to the Mandatory Notice doctrine.
定义不当解雇:阿尔伯塔分裂
阿尔伯塔省关于不当解雇的法律存在分歧。这种分裂的根源是员工在未得到充分通知的情况下被解雇的违约时刻。“强制通知”原则认为是在终止时,而“合同选择权”原则认为,违约发生在未能提供合理通知或代通知金的情况下。虽然强制性通知原则在其他司法管辖区被认为是老生常谈的法律,但艾伯塔省继续制定支持合同选择权的判例法。然而,合同期权理论存在着一些致命的缺陷,这些缺陷突出了其应用所产生的不合逻辑的理论和实践结果。因此,这一趋势必须扭转,艾伯塔省必须回归强制性通知原则。
