The Supreme Court Of Canada examined whether this exclusion was legal in Nova Scotia (Workers’ Compensation Board) v. Martin; Nova Scotia (Workers’ Compensation Board) v. Laseur, [2003] 2 SCR 504, 2003 SCC 54 (CanLII) . The Court concluded that the Nova Scotia system imposed differential treatment upon injured workers suffering from chronic pain on the basis of the nature of their physical disability. This constituted an unjustified discrimination under s. 15 (1) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
