The plaintiff's husband died after receiving emergency medical care from provincial attendants.
The plaintiff sent a letter to the Ministry of Health expressing concerns about the care, which prompted an investigation.
The Province later moved to dismiss the plaintiff's subsequent wrongful death action, arguing the letter did not constitute formal notice of a claim under s. 7(1) of the Proceedings Against the Crown Act.
The Court of Appeal allowed the appeal, holding that the letter provided sufficient particulars to identify the occasion and allow the Crown to investigate, thereby satisfying the statutory notice requirement.
