In this wrongful dismissal case, Blair Curtis represented a senior sales representative specializing in managing large accounts for heavy mining equipment. Our client was 42 years of age, and had worked for Finning for 18 years, moving his way up through the ranks.
At summary trial, the Court rejected the Defendant’s notice submissions and awarded a base notice period of 17 months (reduced to 16 months for contingency of re-employment during the balance of the notice period after trial).
In the result, and including damages for loss to future pension income arising from the dismissal, the Plaintiff recovered a gross amount in excess of $385,000.00.
