The BC Court of Appeal overturned the trial decision awarding $100,000 in punitive damages.
This case concerned the assessment of damages for wrongful dismissal in a contract which expressly limits an employer’s obligation to employ to the availability of work, whether so-called consequential damages are available to a wrongfully dismissed employee and the relationship between an award of punitive damages and special costs.
When I was wrongfully dismissed I contacted several law firms, but Tevlin Gleadle Curtis made me feel at ease on how to proceed and what to expect. They were very thorough throughout the process leaving no stone unturned. Even though this firm is small compared to their corporate counterparts, it has taken them on and won. The personal service I have received has been excellent. I would feel very confident in recommending Tevlin Gleadle Curtis to anyone that finds themself in need of employment lawyers.
