Q How does the power of the Canadian federal government in relation to the provinces differ from the power of the U.S. federal government in relation to the states?
Firstly, wrongful dismissal litigation in Canada is well-developed and tends to result in more predictable damage awards. As a result, it may proceed more quickly to resolution than in the United States. In the United States, employment litigation against employers may include claims of discrimination under state or federal law. While wrongful termination litigation in the United States has gained a reputation for unpredictable damage awards resulting from jury trials, the vast majority of cases settle out of court (Mentzer, 2016,p.254-255).
