The plaintiff brought a motion for summary judgment for wrongful dismissal damages, arguing the termination clause in his employment contract was unenforceable.
The court found that while provisions regarding health benefits and termination for cause were valid, the clause was ambiguous as to whether it excluded severance pay when providing termination pay.
Due to this ambiguity, the termination clause was held invalid.
The plaintiff was awarded common law damages for the period between his termination and when he mitigated his damages by finding new employment.
