Wise Law's Employment #LawFactof the Day: The Duty to Accommodate Disability in the Workplace


Every Ontario employer has a duty to accommodate an employee's disability up to the point of undue hardship.

An employee is however responsible for requesting the accommodation and providing the employer with adequate information about the nature of his or her request.

This includes producing supporting medical documentation, if requested.

Paul Adam on Wills and Estates: Can I make my own Will using an online form?


Beware. If you use an online form instead of a lawyer:

1. You aren’t getting personalized advice from a lawyer who has assessed your needs and interests. 

2. Nobody is proofreading the document to ensure it is error free, and captures your intentions accurately. 

3. Sadly, many online will forms include mistakes some that could adversely affect the interpretation of the Will.

Paul Adam on Wills and Estates: Dying without a Last Will


If you're making the Last Will there are 4 things that you should think about.

1.      Who do I want to leave my property to after I pass away?

2.      Who's the person that I want to appoint to take care of all of my property and affairs after I die?

3.      You need to think about any responsibilities you have to your loved ones to care for them after you die. Think children, think elderly parents.

4.      Once you put your mind to all of that, you'll get in contact with the lawyer and the lawyer will help you write your last will.

Wise Law's Employment #LawFact of the Day: Severance entitlements of long-term employees


In 2015, an Ontario Court awarded 27 months’ of pay in lieu of reasonable notice to a 65-year-old civil engineer who had been employed for 40.66 years. 

In exceptional circumstances involving extraordinarily long-service employees, it is within the discretion of Ontario Courts to award more than 24 months’ damages. 

Seek legal advice to determine your rights and entitlements.
