The court considered a summary judgment motion in a wrongful dismissal case.
The enforceability of the "with cause" and "without cause" termination provisions in the plaintiff's employment contract was at issue.
The court found both provisions unenforceable because they contravened the Employment Standards Act, 2000, following the reasoning in Dufault v. The Corporation of the Township of Ignace and Perretta v. Rand A Technology Corporation.
As a result, the defendant's motion for summary judgment was dismissed, and a further hearing was ordered to determine damages.
