The applicant father brought a motion for judgment seeking sole custody and limited supervised access, arguing the respondent mother had delayed a previously ordered custody and access assessment.

The respondent mother brought a cross-motion to dismiss the motion for judgment, reinstate her supervised access, and order the completion of the assessment.

The court dismissed the motion for judgment, finding that completing the assessment was in the child's best interests given the mother's treatable mental health issues.

The court ordered the assessment to be completed, reinstated supervised access, and ordered the applicant to pay the assessment fees in lieu of costs.

The plaintiff, a 56-year-old Director of Business Development with 22.5 years of service, was terminated without cause by the defendant pharmaceutical company.

On a motion for summary judgment, the court determined the reasonable notice period to be 24 months, considering the plaintiff's senior role and the specialized nature of his employment.

The court also awarded damages including a 2% salary increase and a bonus based on the average of the two years prior to termination.

The court ordered that any income earned by the plaintiff during the post-judgment notice period be held in trust and paid to the defendant upon the expiry of the notice period.
