In this BC employment law action, we advanced a wrongful dismissal action on behalf of the plaintiff who had been employed by the defendant as a senior fixed term securities trader. Before consulting us, he negotiated terms of departure from his employment. Problems arose when the plaintiff and defendant disagreed as to the scope of the defendant’s obligations regarding payment of a $400,000 lump sum. The plaintiff was unsuccessful in his effort to recover this sum at trial.
The BC Court of Appeal ultimately decided in favour of the Company based on a factual findings at trial.
