LIBRARY HEADING
Judge: The Honourable Justice Gerald R P Moir
Heard: 3 April 2008 at Halifax
Written Decision: Oral decision transcribed and signed on 17 April 2008
Subject: Security for costs.
Issue: Whether the plaintiff, who resides in Massachusetts, should post security for costs?
Summary: The plaintiff’s employment in Nova Scotia was terminated. A non-competition clause prevented him from working here. He went home to Massachusetts. He sued for wrongful dismissal.
Result: The connection between the cause and residence, the absence of reasons for believing a Nova Scotia judgment is not enforceable in Massachusetts, and evidence of some hardship to the plaintiff led to the application being dismissed.
