Summary:

Marshall was dismissed by the Government of Saskatchewan and Marshall claimed damages for wrongful dismissal. The defendants applied to strike out the Marshall's statement of claim. The Saskatchewan Court of Queen's Bench allowed the application on the ground that the statement of claim disclosed no cause of action - See 16 Sask.R. 219. Marshall appealed to the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal.

The Saskatchewan Court of Appeal allowed the appeal and set aside the order which struck out the statement of claim.
