1. Students will become familiar with the process of identifying legal issues in case fact scenarios. 2. Students will develop skills to research secondary sources of law. 3. Students will apply relevant legal principles to one of two different fact situations. SCENARIO #1 It was a nasty snowy day, on January 26 of the current year. On that day, two employees of Alberta Correctional Services, Ike Inkster and Melvin Melrose, were transporting an inmate, Zane gagging, from the Peace River Correctional Centre to the City of Edmonton. Poor Zane had been suffering from a severely ingrown toenail and required special medical attention not available to him in Peace River. Zane was a model inmate. He was incarcerated for his role in a rather clever fraud scheme. He had not been violent during the period of his incarceration, but he was certainly getting anxious to be \"on the outside\" again. Zane was being transported in a standard Corrections van on the day in question. He was not handcuffed or shackled, nor restrained in any way. Zane had been taken to a wide range of appointments before this day and had never caused any trouble. As a result, the warden had given permission for Zane to be transported in this manner. The transfer policy of the government department responsible stated: in thegvent that a prisoner is deemed \"low risk\the torts and apply them to the facts. 2. Determine the potential defendants and set out their defences by explaining the legal rules that apply and then apply them to the facts. Example of how it needs to be outlined: Legal Issue #1 Did Mega Corp discriminate against Jane when she was fired for not being able to lift a 50lb box in the warehouse? Legal Principles: 1n p_r5l_r_t9_ determine if Mega Corp discriminated against Jane when firing her, one needs to consider whether or not: 1. Jane has a characteristic that is protected from discrimination by human rights [gm 2. Jane experienced an adverse impact with respect to her employment; and 3. The protected characteristic was a factor in the adverse impact. According to section 7 of the Alberta Human Rights Act, \"every person is entitled to equal treatment with respect to employment, without discrimination on the basis of race, religious beliefs, colour, gender, gender identity, gender expression, physical disability, mental disability, age, ancestry, place of origin, marital status, source of income, family status, or sexual orientation\". According to WilliamsWhitt, et al, the leading case to test for discrimination is Moore v British Columbia {Education} which sets out the test that is paraphrased above. m according to WilliamsWhitt, once an employee has met the test set out above, the employer must prove that ring the employee is justified. Application to Facts of Case: 1. Jane suffers from a bad back due to a car accident injury several years Egg 2. Jane has a characteristic that is protected under section 7 of the Human Rights Act as her bad back is a physical disability; Jane suffered an adverse impact as she was fired from her job for failing to lift a 50lb g 3. Since her back injury restricts her from lifting more than 10lbs, her physical disability was a factor in why she was ned; 4. As a result, Jane was discriminated against duet}; thejact that she was red because of a protected ground under the Human Rights Act
