How can I enforce my rights in Canada


06-Jan-2023 (In International Law Law)
I am an NRI working in Canada. There is infringement of my personal rights two years back in Canada from my colleague who also works in same company. At the moment I am in Bangalore on some personal family matter. While discussing on how my rights were infringed, a counsel informed me that I can move the court and seek damages. I cannot describe the violation of my rights here because of confidentiality. Need a Barrister who can counsel me.

You can move the jurisdictional court at Canada on this matter and claim damages.



Since you wish to discuss this in person, suggest you call us and have an appointment.



Please keep in mind that each province and territory within Canada has its own limitation periods for different categories of claims. Several of the common law provinces, including Ontario, have adopted a basic limitation period of two years for claims in contract and tort, subject to discoverability. Ultimate limitation periods vary widely across jurisdictions, ranging up to 30 years (and certain claims are not subject to any ultimate limitation period).



In Québec, specific enactments establish various limitation periods (known as prescriptions), but generally claims for infringements of personal rights must be brought within three years.



Given the variance between Canadian jurisdictions, and the complex nature of limitations statutes, local counsel should be consulted. We can help you in this.
