The plaintiff, a 53-year-old pharmacist with 16 years and 3 months of service, brought a summary judgment motion for wrongful dismissal damages against her former employer.
The employer conceded dismissal without cause, with the dispute centering on the reasonable notice period and associated damages.
The plaintiff sought 23 months' notice, while the defendant argued for approximately one month per year of service.
The court considered factors such as age, length of service (including a short break), character of employment, availability of similar employment, and mitigation efforts.
