Links to these cases can be found on the moodle website and have been discussed in the lectures. You can also go directly to the CANLII site and search for them by name.

Assume you are explaining the cases to an intelligent but uniformed person about workplace law (AKA the Reasonable Person). In a few clear concise and well-written paragraphs (no more than 2 pages), explain the basic issues of each case and then compare and contrast the differences in approach and outcomes between these cases. Each deals with how violence in the workplace may or may not lead to justifiable summary dismissal. How does the Common Law approach this issue compared to how it may be dealt with under the Occupational Health and Safety Act?

You can also (but not instead of) refer to other cases in the text or covered in the course if they will help you explain. When using other cases ensure you cite them in a way which allows me to quickly find them.

This is an INDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENT and you are not to collaborate with others. If you use other sources in your work ensure they are properly identified and cited.
