[...] In the Court of Appeal A.L. Smith L.J. and Vaughan Williams L.J., treated the Act as an act dealing with procedure only and therefore retrospective.

Curley v. Latreille - (1920) 60 SCR 131 - 1920-02-03
Supreme Court JudgmentsTorts
The French court extends the doctrine of the English deviation cases such as Venables y. Smith[11]; (see also Williams v. Koehler & Co.,[12]; and Chicago Consolidated Bottling Co. v. McGinnis[13]); and treats as merely an abuse of the employment what would in England be regarded as something clearly outside its course, [...] Both Vaughan Williams L. J. and Fletcher-Moulton L. J. dwell on the fact of the driver's belief that he was discharging his duty; he knew nothing of the limitation on the manager's right to use the company's cars. [...] In England under the like circumstances the master was held not liable (Williams v. Jones[61], by the majority of the Court of Exchequer (Erle C. J. Keating and Smith JJ.) on the ground that the lighting of the pipe was not in any way connected with the work for which the servant was employed.

Quand le cadastre de la paroisse fut préparé en 1877 ou 1878 par le témoin Lepage, William Page, fils de Henry Page et père de l'intimé, lui fournit des renseignements au sujet de ces terrains, et Lepage donna un numéro sur le plan officiel au chemin, en raison, dit-il, des renseignements qu'il reçut de Page. [...] En 1881, William Page a vendu à la mère de l'appelant un emplacement situé à l'angle du chemin Page et du chemin maritime, qui est le terrain desservi par l'aqueduc dont l'intimé se plaint.
