director immunity

By Stringer LLP | 3 Minutes Read May 28, 2019

Can a corporate director face a personal injury suit for a workplace accident? Alberta Court of Appeal says yes!

The fundamental principle of workers’ compensation across Canada is that workers who suffer an injury “in the course of employment” give up their right to sue their employer and others in tort, in exchange for access to the no fault workers’ compensation benefit system. However, there are exceptions to this principle, which may expose uninsured workplace parties to significant liability, including directors.
