An employee appealed a trial judgment dismissing his claim for unpaid bonuses following termination without cause.
The employment contract contained a limitation clause stating that bonuses did not accrue and were only earned and payable on the designated pay-out date.
The trial judge found the limitation clause unambiguous and enforceable.
The Court of Appeal upheld this decision, finding that the parties had clearly agreed on how and when bonuses would be declared, earned, accrued, and paid.
The court rejected arguments based on unconscionability and public policy, noting that the bonus provisions were freely negotiated.
The appeal was dismissed with costs awarded to the respondent.
