    At least in BC filing fees are generally awarded to the prevailing party. See Rule 20 (2). I believe it's the same elsewhere in Canada.

    Luckily BC we have the good Samaritan Act.

    A person who renders emergency medical services or aid to an ill, injured or unconscious person, at the immediate scene of an accident or emergency that has caused the illness, injury or unconsciousness, is not liable for damages for injury to or death of that person caused by the person's act or omission in rendering the medical services or aid unless that person is grossly negligent.

    Because after all these years, you STILL can't create a multiple-column Google document. That and the Personal Information Protection Act - http://www.bclaws.ca/Recon/doc...

    "cannot be paid overtime" - No, they can be paid overtime, it's just not required by law (or rather by that law).

    Also, about that high tech exemption: "a person employed to provide basic operational technical support" is excluded from the exemption.

    I'm curious, Slashdot: Is a server admin "a person employed to provide basic operational technical support"? Ok, now is there a way to explain why or why not to a judge?

  7. Huh? by rakslice · · Score: 1 · on University to Evict Man 13 Years After Graduation

    In BC, the Residential Tenancy Act has a blanket exemption for educational institutions' student/staff housing. That kind of thing isn't doesn't exist everywhere... I vaguely remember some cases about unlawful evictions against Ontario universities back when I lived there decades ago, and I see they have a narrower educational exemption...

    Does it really surprise people that universities would need the same kinds of grounds for an eviction as any other landlord?
