The appellant sued the Government of Nunavut in Ontario for wrongful dismissal.
The motion judge found no real and substantial connection to Ontario and that Nunavut was the more appropriate forum.
On appeal, the appellant argued Ontario was a 'forum of necessity' because returning to Nunavut would trigger severe mental illness symptoms.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, upholding the motion judge's finding that the appellant's mental health challenges did not rise to the exceptional level required for the forum of necessity doctrine, noting that accommodations could be sought in a Nunavut court.
